extended bolts? we have wheel lugs, not bolts. i am assuming you are getting spacers?
as for the seat of them, i can't say, most aftermarket rims the use tuner lugs use a conical seat, only cars i 100% know use ball seat are vw, audi and porsche: but only on factory rims..
the threads are 12x1.5
ya i'm getting 15mm spacers so those dang hx wheels clear the caliper.
the conical seat is what i was guesssing too
thanks though =)
so can anybody help me out about which seat we have....is it the ball seat??? or the tapered seat???
i need to order these dang things already
tapered.
tapered it is =)
You need the lugs to match what kind of rims you are putting on. The style has 0 to do with what kind of car you are putting them on.Quote:

would i be able to change the studs out myself or would that be best if i take it somewhere to get it done???
It is possible for you to do it yourself. I would personally take it somewhere.
thats one of those, if you have to ask you can't do it kind of things..
you need to press out the old studs, and press in new ones. the now ones need to have th same hole diameter. or if the holes are messed up at all, the next size up and then redrilled and press.
It's pretty straight forward if the studs are and exact match but just longer. One or two good wacks with a hammer will get the old studs out and you just have to put the new ones in, a few taps from the back and your done. When you torque the wheels on, it'll pull the studs into place on the hub. Just be sure to re-torque them soon after in case they settle any more. But if the studs are bigger, it'll be more work.
ya thats what i was thinking. i would need to get the rotors and the drums off to get a hammer to it though. or at least the brake caliper. i didn't look how its set up for the drum. how hard is that. or is that pretty straightforward too??
The rears all depend on the vehicle. On some vehicles, you can get the stud out the back-side of the hub. Some you can't.
hmm ok ya i'll have to take a look
thanks everyone for all the info and help =)
