Converting your car to studs as opposed to wheel bolts has several benefits but the most important are the following:
Safer wheel retention - We often see after as little as 15 minutes on track the standard Renault wheel bolts can come lose causing steering vibration and potentially the wheel coming off the car! The excessive heat generated on track can cause expansion of the wheel and hub assemblies, which during cooling contract reducing the tightness of the wheel bolts. You will notice that all competition vehicles are fitted with stud and nut wheel retention.
Speed of wheel changing - With studs as a guide replacing a wheel is quick and easy, this is particularly helpful in pitstop environments or indeed in the paddock on your track day.
Stud selection:
100mm - studs are suitable for vehicles using wheel spacers 19mm and above or wheels with larger hub mountings
