Lug setup??

By Classiccarsrule85
- Wed Apr 28, 2010 7:37 pm #190682 Alright so having owned BMW's working on classic Vw's ,BMW's etc....dont know if you get where im going yet but here we go

ever since a fairly vast amount of people have either broken a lug, or something like that.......

and to this day even my father said to me that he never saw a car with the bolt lug style such as bmws not the nut style never once while he was a corner worker see one brake off however it seemed like the ones with the nut style seemed to have the stud brake off or something like that......

So given this im thinking hard about how i might be able to switch things around and make something like this work ....

Or would it just be more beneficial to research some other wheel lug stud setup??

Just dont want something to end up breaking whilst im racing etc.....

Was wanting to change the studs to the bmw vw style bolt style like you where saying.....and well i think i was half asleep or something because i dont even understand what i wrote and after that i passed out for 4hours lol.....just woke up again....anyhow main concept.
take teh bmw vw style lugs and replace the studs on a civic with that of bmw.....i think itd be more work but itd also look cleaner. idk lol

My dad was looking at the screen when this was up and mentioned that Dodge did back in the 50's and no one liked them.

If you do it I want to see pics. Its always cool to see conversion pics. However I'm not sure that you would be happy with the end result.
