Default Are my track wheels too wide ? What offset are they ??

I've just done a test fit with the hub and stud conversion i'm doing and they fit perfect..... but with me road going wheels, the stud is way too long and i would need to cut about a inch off which means that my track wheels won't fit.

Pictures.....

Don't cut the studs - simple.

SN41 from Rally Design

0.80p each and you need 16.

So thats 0.80x16 £12.80 plus vat and carriage.

Would you like my credit card number too

Or try Tim Finch - I bet he has plenty 2nd hand ones

But what I would do (if I were you) is just put your original nuts in a pillar drill and open the end out
