Well finally got a break in the weather to tackle this job. The Dare's had to go as they 2 more cracked recently and I had these rims from last year anyway. Had to remove the old studs and fit 15mm longer ones that you can see below.
There was a problem though as the new studs were a few mm too long to go in from the back as the hub carrier was in the way. I had to remove a very small bit of metal to allow the new studs to line up straight. The old ones came out fairly easily with a few solid thumps of a sledge. The new ones are then coaxed back in to the hub by tightening them up with the spacers in place until they pull the whole way in. You wouldnt want to use the wheels to do this as quite a bit of torque is needed
Anyway I think it worked out well, there is very slight rubbing on one side on a speed bump but its just the arch liner. The wheels fill the arches as much as absolutely possible and bearing in mind they have been rolled to within an inch of their lives previously. What do you think ?
