Motorsport Hardware Stud Conversion Kit

Hey everyone, I finally got around to installing the Titan Cold Forged Alloy Steel race nuts from Motorsport Hardware so i thought I would share some pics.


Small review, I took it around the block a few times and everything seemed normal, both the studs and the race nuts felt of very high quality when I first took them out of the box so i was was not worried about fitment or anything like that...I have my first track event on the 5th of April so we will see how they hold up . Overall very happy with this stud conversion.

Sorry about the dirty rotors and bad quality pics, just used my phone.

Nice job on the stud conversion. It's definitely going to make things easier when swapping wheels on and off while at the track.

I just did the same conversion on mine the other day. How long are your lug nuts? Reason I ask is I hanve a good bit of threads left on my studs (using small acorn lugs they came with) and your lug nuts hang over the end of the stud. Do you have spacers?

Not sure how long my lug nuts are to be honest, I could measure them for you if youd like.

I do not have spacers currently but I did find it strange that the stud was not closer to the edge of the lug nut.
