Hi, i've just bought some 15" ronal wheels and being new to the t25 scene, i've noticed i need longer wheel nuts at the front and wheel studs at the back, not as simple as i thought it was gonna be !

Re: Fitting Aftermarket wheels - East Sussex
the best way to get the hub nuts of is with an impact driver...me m8 lends me his 12v one brilliant...
then take the hub off and then tap/bang out the bolts and replace with longer ones..just make sure they go in evenly..

Re: Fitting Aftermarket wheels - East Sussex
What type of Ronals are you fitting?
If they're the 5 spoke ones used by Projektzwo and Oettinger you don't need longer rear studs.
All that's required to fit those are taper seated nuts and bolts....the same used for fitting OE Carat/Caravelle alloys.

Yes they're the Projektzwo/Oettinger versions.Have a look at the bolt holes and if they are tapered(which they should be) and not radius you don't need longer rear studs.
