Nuts should screw on at least 6 turns to be safe

Get some longer studs, they are quiet easy to change.

That's what I was thinking I see some arp ones but they are from Australia and without a bit of tax are nearly £200 but I suppose that's cheaper than loosing a wheel on track

Can these be brought in the uk ? Has anyone got arp uk phone number ?

you don't need to remove the hubs to fit them , they will go in in place , to fit the new ones use a metal spacer or series of washers and tighten up a wheel nut on the stud and it will pull the stud into place

Cheers Ian

Hi lads wonder if any one could help I have just fitted gold brembo brake calipers to my 94 impreza wrx I am rolling on 17 inch rims and these clear the calliper for height but the spoke is touching the calliper so I purchased 5mm wheel spacers that did the trick but they are still very close to the calliper and my bolts are turning average 6 to 7 turns each nut would the way these are fitted be fine
