Ok guy's....What size wheel studs and or lug bolt's are ya running...Diameter size that is ???? Once I get this 450hp busa monster spooled up I've been looking at them whimpy stock studs and am thinking to myself....Willieeeeee....These just don't look like there going to cut the mustard.....I'm a bit worried that may be the weak link...At that point in time when the lumps screaming 11 k and I'm flying I sure don't want any problems like a wheel passing me up at mach 1...And while where on the subject....What kind of wheels and offset are we running....Please keep in mind I have ForeTech flares on er and I want to fill up the well with tire but still need a good set up for the sideway's into the turn's action.....Any Ideas ???????????

Thanks.......and...... Cheers........Willieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........

KAD use an ET +6 on a 6" wide rim, and an ET -22 on a 7". This woudl make an 8" rim ET-48mm. This should be a good starting pt to clear susp components, but I don't know about your flares....maybe contact 7ent.com, which still sell 'em I think.

CHeers,

Monte

Happy new year!!!!


My Mini will have 15x7j wheels with ET +35mm, so I have to change the bolt pattern from 4x4" to 4x100mm. I'm making my own alloy adaptors (30mm thick) with hardened M12x67mm studbolts. I think these are needed because my Haya Mini will have a TTS compressor on it somewhere this year and that should bang out around 290bhp and 300+Nm torque.

If you want it stronger, you can think about using a bolt pattern with 5 bolts. One way or another, you must change the base plate if you want to change to stronger studbolts.
