LONGER STUDS FOR AUDI ALLOYS ?

[mearnsy]

Just bought some Audi alloys for my T25 and need some longer studs. Where is the best (cheapest) place to by these from.

i bought mine from machine 7
very reasonable
if you are wanting locking wheel nuts, i'd go for screw in studs for the front
so you have studs on all 4 wheels, then you only need one set of locking wheels nuts
and it makes it easier putting on the front wheels
depending upon wheel width and offset you might well be needing spacers
i have audi wheels on my t3 7 1/2 x 16, i needed spacers, i have 6mm the moment, looking at them i'm sure i can get away with 3mm ones
the 6mm ones were the cheapest, £16 for a pair, the 3mm ones are £35 i think
if you think you might need it's easy enough to make yourself up some MDF spacers to check for fit

are the spacers to ensure the wheels clear the existing centre caps?

rather than knocking out trial spacers
use washers, on the studs, difficult with bolts

dink, is the steering still heavy with those tyres/wheels?
