they use vw studs for group a ,you will have to drill your drive flange to suit .

you will also need a threaded sleeve to go over the stud which is 18mm o/d 28mm long if you are fitting genuine group a wheels to get the full benefit of the bigger diameter stud .

or there are these but i have never used them .

I re drilled my hubs to suit press fit M14 studs

Unlike group A/wrc which are half shank half thread and use a sleeve that is heated and then slid over the shank

I made up fully threaded sleeves to suit my fully threaded Porsche/vw press fit studs

Here's my sleeves I made on the lathe


Fitted with the M14 wheel studs and my wrc front bells etc

Studs you can buy in a lot of places depending on length needed,

Wheel sleeves can not be bought off the shelf anywhere and have to be custom made, the ones Dewitts sell are not threaded

What the benefit of grpA studs? Is it a strong fixing or no stud thread contact with wheel, or down to wheel wheel design?

Also i got my last set of M14 extra long wheel studs from Steve at SpeedShack in west Drayton, very helpful guy

Fred Crawford may possibly have something to sort you out. I know he has Gpa studs in his place, but i'm not exactly sure how/if they can fit a road hub?

why not use M12 studs with old type group 4 nuts

M14 studs are bigger so they're stronger, also having the sleeve over the stud and tight and flat against the hub face gives the stud a bigger surface area so again making it stronger

Hi Marc,
I think i remember you making those, did you make any spares,pm me if you like .
did you just drill out the flange to a hole or re-knurl the hole to suit the bigger studs ??
