I think the accepted rule is that a nut should screw on at least one diameter.D366Y wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:43 pmI think I heard somewhere once that it's recommended to have 7turns on the nut or something? If that's correct and you have that many turns I'd leave it as is?Mrbaboon1985 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:34 pm There on just the tyre place think longer studs would be better to secure them!

Re: Alloy Wheels
What would we think standard + 13mm or 25mm currently at 4 turns and need possible another few to be safe. No idea what one turn constitutes as!Fordoholic Nick wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 6:59 pm Tickover sell studs too...
