I have two sets of aftermarket wheels from the 06 that don't fit the 07 because the lug bolts are bigger. (rims- ssr and nzo monzas)

Anybody use this stud conversion kits? are there Stock class legality issues?

Jodi,

Stud conversions are legal in stock. I wouldn't protest you with the smaller diameter conversion kit.

 

Yes you can use them for stock.

 

Another new car Black with white roof?

You can always make the holes on the wheels larger with a drill, not that big a deal.

We need to come to Atlanta to check out your new ride.

Yep, yep, couldn't resist...
Thanks for the replies.
I'm looking into having the wheels drilled out for me instead as well... I didn't think it was as easy as just taking a drill and drilling the hole bigger....

Come on up to Atlanta... you too Mr. Tirewarmer- long time, no see!

 

Can you drill holes outyoursef? as in how would you center the drill. Machine shop?

 

I drilled out a set of 17x7s without any problem. Just found the right bit and stood over it as straight as possible. As long as the lugnut acorn sits ok (which it will) then no problem! I'm running them this weekend and haven't had any problems with torqueing the lugnuts at all.

Yes, you can. (Or at least that's what I read in the posts above mine...)

are you putting a set on your R56????

 

Yes, and they work great.

 

I do plan on getting a set for my R56. We did a NASCAR-style wheel change this past weekend in the wet and i can't STAND the BMW-style lugstud setup!
