Hello,Do any of you replace the studs in the front?How many parts do i need to take of to pull the olds out?i am getting wheel spacers with new studs, so would like to know how hard of a job that is.Thanks ,Caug.03 m45

studs are easy to replace, remove brake caliper and rotor and hit the studs straight back with a heavy hammer. the less times you hit the stud to remove the better. when installing stud you will need a new lug nut and a spacer of some sort. put the stud in from behind and install a spacer like an oversize nut, then the new lug nut. be sure to lube the treads. tighten the new nut until the stud seats in the hub. very easy with an impact gun. it takes a little more effort without one. repaet this step for each stud, if the new nut becomes hard to tread on a new stud, discard and use another new nut. when all is done do not use the nuts to hold on the wheel, be sure to use the original or new replacement nuts. you dont want to install damaged nuts on new studs or you will do this all over again.

Increase in unsprung rotational mass will definitely slow your car down, lengthen braking distances, and wear suspension sooner.

TWO LBS EXTRA PER WHEEL NOT GONNA DO MUCH.WITH MY ENKEI WHEELS I SAVED 10 TO12 LBS ALREADY, IT IS O.K. IF I ADD 2 BACK.NOT TO WORRY.

Purchasing the correct (preferably forged) wheels with the correct offset will obviate the "need" to add additional unspring rotating mass, which is critical to performance.

I hope they are the Japanses Enkei as many of the other ones are subpar. I know because I have some on another car.

enkei rpf 1. the lightest they made. i see this wheels in f1 cars untill 2008 season.plus any roadcourse races seriese. i see them all the time on speedvision.they are real thing. i always wanted them.i am after performane wheels type of guy not the 20'' chrom look.i like faster not slower.18x8 1/2 and 18x9 1/2 . spacer will be going infront only. 15mm. will be just fine.toyo t1R the best match for me. rain or shine.
