It would be impossible.For a start.How would you attach the drive shafts.And how would you fit this.

might have said the wrong thing :oops: just wanted to know if you can try and change what the wheel bolts on to so you can use bolts instead of nuts or would i have to go for longer studs as when i put my mercedes wheels on not enough of the stud comes through :ok

Ahh.That makes more sense :) Just get yourself some longer rear studs.Brickwerks sell them :wink:They also sell the stud conversion kit for the fronts.

get the longest you can as you can cut them down, the nut needs all of it's thread interlocked with the stud
