I know it's not very to convert to studs instead of these dam bolts, but where can i get a conversion kit at?

Mazdacomp has studs for them, but you got to be a registered racer to buy from them.

Eville140

I got some from a local rim/wheel store. They where about $1 each. I would check around local to you first, bet you can find some cheap.

ive been wanting to do this for ages now.. but its not high in my list of priorities so i'll proble never do it..

ive seen a few that have been converted and it looks very simple to do and i think u can just get the studs at any tire store like Eville140 said.

i pulled the studs out of a second gen at the junkyard. they just gave them to me. i only did the rears though, i havent gotten aroudn to doing the front. it was really easy.

you have to drill out the holes in the hub to fit them in down u ? i would rather use the studs that screw in, much easier and no risk of cracking anything..

When I ran Pro7 I bought my kits (16 studs and 16 nuts) from AIM:

All you need is the correct size allen wrench and some red locktite. I never had a problem with them backing out when install per the instructions.

I bought some studs from a local parts store. They were made by EMPI (the VW people) and came 5 to a package for $3.00.

MazdaTrix also carries them. Not sure what the price is though.

I got mine from these people wheel studs I used the 2800L and 2800XL studs. They are good quality, I used locktite and put them in at 35 lbs of torque.

I think I needed the XL's for the rear and the L for the front. But I also used open end bulge style lug nut from this page Lug nuts. I think I used the part # 5555 nut. They are also readily available at Advance Auto Parts or Autozone part # 98974 (I think, recalling from memory).

yea, i had to drill the threads out of the hub. why would anything crack? ive never heard of stock studs ever cracking. they seem/look fine to me.

I didnt mean that it would crack every single time, its just drilling into a hardened peice of metal is only gona heat the metal which causes work hardning and makes the metal slightly more brittle so there might be a .001% chance of cracking..
