Where do you guys buy from?
If rather use these as fitting the nuts is a PITA

What so hard about fitting the nuts?? Wheel to heavy to hold on to the hub?? Does it not sit on the hub without the nuts in??

That's where I got mine from anyways. About £1.50 per stud and same for the wheel nuts I think

Yeah had a few Jap motors.
It is slightly easier. But then the cars ive had with nuts, i just line up the holes, and sit the wheel on the hub.
If its not sitting square on the hub, then that's a spigot ring issue, as in lack of them.

If you have V6 brakes (you can't use the retaining screw with the re-drilled discs), a spacer and a wheel, lining that all up is a pita. When you get one lined up the others move! Studs make it all easier, much easier.

I got mine from Grayston, they only supply to trade however ..... should be able to blag it.
Make sure that you order M12 x 1.5 .... mine were 60mm long iirc

Yup, bigger brakes mean they not only don't stay in place in a circular motion put Alamo need to move up too. So lining all 3 up in a massive pain each time. I don't even know why it's being questioned, I was asking where I can buy

Thanks mate. Did they have specific ones for corsa, or do you know thread size?
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/wheel-tyre-accessories/a-i-tech-double-thread-conversion-stud. These work out pretty pricey for 16 and don't include nuts

Cheers Ben, any idea on thread size and length?
Will look out for different nuts as they will look terrible against my wheels

I think I bought 60mm and cut them down. As it will be different depending on the wheels/size of disc and everything
Just buy some that seem way to long then cut them down buddy
And as Ben said m12x1.5

And don't forget. They will be on and off when your measuring them to cut them. But once there cut to length and your happy with them
Chuck a blob of locktite on the threads that go into the hubs.

Studs > Bolts
Only notice when you go back to a car with bolts and you're like 'WTF are all the holes'.
