I am currently experimenting with a wheel nut/stud conversion for my 106.

With the alloy wheels these studs are fine and do not protrude beyond the alloy. On the steel wheel they are as below. Again they do not extend beyond the rim but opinions welcome.

FWIW I have yet to try them on track, and can easily got back to standard wheel fitment.




It does look a little mad max...

I should probably add that this is a race car, so my question relates to passing scrutineering.

I have checked the blue book. `the sections I think are relevant don't mention wheel studs at all other than not being made of a composite material. I think it is page 286 s 19.7.2. or page 151 s 5.8.1.

With my other wheels on, its not a problem, they don't protrude. So I could present the car at scrutineering with those wheels and it'll not be noticed. But during the day it might rain and I need to use the above rims... nor sure what happens then...

I think I'll probably try them on track day, and see if they make putting wheels on easier, then maybe change the length of them.
