Hello everyone,
My name is Matt, I live in Fort Collins, Colorado. In February I bought an 04 MINI S in pepper white. I love the car, and have big plans for it. I decided to log on to get advice on parts and upgrades for small problems with the car, and hopefully I can be helpful in return.
Thanks!

 

Welcome. Of course you love your car - it's a MINI Do you have any current problems you're experiencing?

 

Im actually doing a search to find wheel stud replacements. The forum has covered "screw-in" conversions, but I can't seem to find anyone that has a "press-in" conversion. I would really like to put some ARP studs in (from another make), but im worried that they wont clear something within the hub (hence why no one has done it?). Does anyone have a thickness of the plate on the hub that the wheel studs thread into? I havent taken mine apart to measure this because im afraid that one of my studs wont go back in. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
