Thanks again to Pete A for organising this GB.
First pic is with a 10mm spacer on the front. 2nd and 3rd pic is the rear with a 5mm spacer. Just dropped back from a 10mm to a 5mm cause of a little rubbing. |

It's nice not to need different length lug nuts for different spacers isnt it?
How much did you torque your studs down? I did 40Nm on each using the double nut method. 120Nm on the nuts themselves.

The studs were set to 30 ft/lb and the nuts at 88ft/lb so yeah same torque specs. Studs = Race car |

Was looking around for some fancy nuts for my newly stud-converted car.
There are a few types (added benefit of these 'Project KICKS' type is that they are two piece rotating base to prevent damage to wheels): Project KICKS R26 Project KICKS R40 (Come in capped and uncapped versions) Then there are normal open ended ones (These are Muteki SR48 Open End Tuner Lug Nuts) I quite like the R40 capped nuts because they come in a set of 16 + 4 lock nuts + key + caps ontop to prevent dust going in. Problem is I'm having trouble finding a black set that is not a fake (dont like shadow titanium colour). Has anyone else had experience with these sorts of things or can recommend any other brands? The R40 capped set is pretty $$$

I love the project kics. That's what I (will) have, as soon as I get back to Perth to pick up the studs (thanks for those, btw). I thought they only came in two colours though? the shadow chrome/titanium and the neo chrome? Didn't think there was a straight black option...

... anyone up for a group buy of the project kics nuts?
some of the stuff on aliexpress could be genuine haha (even for replicas, they're supposedly not really dodgy) Last edited by flinchy; 03-03-2014 at 07:06 PM.. |

Looking good! May I ask where you picked up your StopTech's from? They have dropped in price recently and I'm almost ready to buy.
