Has anyone replaced the wheel studs in situ? Where can I buy longer wheel studs? Bought some different wheels, with a slightly different offset!
Thanks

Got mine from Rally Design. I also changed them in situ, I knocked them out with a hammer and used a socket over the stud with some washers and a nut to draw them in. Simples !

Ditto, got mine from Rallye Design also, piece of cake to do if you have an impact driver.Here is a pic of my beloved S3c with them fitted.

I struggled trying to pull mine in with a ratchet, I'd guess an impact wrench does a better job scratchchin

So we need an impact gun, not a driver?

It is just so much easier with one, yes you could do it with a ratchet etc but it took me about 1 hour to do all 16 with one of these

I also made a tool out of an old wheel nut and old socket, the nut has to have a spinning washer/seat so that when you are pulling the stud home the nut just spins in its seat !! I can take a pic later of the tool if you wish, good luck.

Thank you for this link. Maybe I have misunderstood the torque setting thing in the operator´s guide :-) :-)

@tozerman: Have you a complete picture of your S with this rims. I think they look nice.
