"Simply remove the wheel bolts and wheel, and screw the studs (short end) into the bolt holes as far as they will go; replace the wheel and fix in place with the wheelnuts supplied - Simple!."

What stops them from simply unscrewing themselves from the hub or does just tightening the wheel nuts secure them in enough? Wouldn't want the studs to come out when undoing the wheel nuts.

Should locktite be used on the studs?

Look absolutely awesome! Wouldn't normally like that spolier either but i think with the wheels and car seems to be sitting lower the spolier compliments it all nicely and looks good!

Man, those wheels really are awesome, am v.jealous!

Yes, whats more, the studs need to be tightened in using the 2 nut method.

I'm totally confused now lol

Do they need a nut done up tight behind the wheel?

Oh and can you get locking wheel nuts of for this set up?
 
Again thanks everyone :approve:

James yes you need loctite on the thread that screws into the hub, the 2 nut system that Mark is referring to is 2 normal nuts placed on the end of the thread to enable you to tighten them up into the hub, the reason you need 2 nuts is to so they work against each other allowing the sufficient leveridge to tighten the stud up and not just wind down on the thread, the 2 nuts are then removed once stud screwed in.
