Wheel stud conversion lengths?
All you who had done a stud conversion, what length studs are you using? My Comps have quite a large offset and need longer ones as the std ford bolts were a little too short.
What lengths in mm?
Cheers

pretty sure mine are 47mm.... but thats on standard wheels, you could always just get the long ones and grind them down to suit....

do you use your standard hubs with the stud conversion or do they need to be changed

Yes mate, i have some photos some where....
You have to drill out your hubs and press in new studs, pretty easy, best to get some one else to do it unless you have a pillar drill etc.

i've got some from rally design 63mm i think, but you don't need to mess around with your hubs. because they have a thread on just screws in place of your old wheel bolts.

I'm pretty sure mine are 47mm with ET35 Comps and they are fine.

Are they quite a wide offset muz? As my standard wheel bolts where quite short with mine so need extra length on the studs.
