empi 5's/ CSP brakes wheel nuts/studs Q

empi 5's/ CSP brakes wheel nuts/studs Q

by Sam » Sun Sep 07, 2008 12:33 am
Got me some shiny new american eagle empi 5's:

I have CSP disk brakes on the front and the wheel studs do not seem to stick up too far into the wheel:

What wheel hardware do I need at the front?

I guess the empi's are deeper in the middle section than a stock steel wheel, and i'm going to encounter a similar issue at the back with my drums (need long bolts).

Cheers, Sam

The came from CiP1 in the States

I was hoping not have to change the wheel studs on the front as i think they are locktite-d in quite strongly?

How did you go getting them out?

They'll come out, just loctite the new ones in too.
It's a quick enough job, as said above some aftermarket wheels are just that little bit thicker so need a longer stud.

Are the studs anything special? Like, are they readily available and do they have the same thread on either end?

Thanks for help so far, much appreciated ;)

No they are slightly thicker on the bit in the hub if I remember rightly. They go in with an allen key, and just loctite them in place. Where did you get the csp brakes from? They should be able to supply you the longer studs, it's a fairly common thing. If you have problems let me know I'll get some for you and send them over. Shipping will be a bit though from UK I guess.
