What size stud conversion?

Howdy,

I just bought the Wilwood 11.75 race kit, and I'm probably going to need to run 5 mm spacers some of the time depending on which 15in wheel I'll be running (track or winter - slipstreams and holies). I'm looking at the turner motorsports page and they list a 75mm and 90mm stud kit. Which length do I need? Thanks for any and all help on this subject

Oh yea, I don't mind if the stud sticks out of the rim a little bit.

The 75 should be good. I used them for a while with my TCE Wilwood, 5mm spacer, and both the Kosei and Subzero wheels and they had thread to spare.
Great choice on the studs by the way.

Ok, next question: There's a million different types of nuts; what's best? Or, what's best for what I do (lots of street, 5-10 DE, tire rotation)? Does it even matter?

Turner has BBS 17 and 19mm nuts.

Just tell Turner what you are doing and they will set you straight. Very good people there.
