      Theres a tool from Lisle called pilot pins part # 13950, use them daily. Would be ok for summer tires but prob not so good for winters considering the corrosion. Could end up torquing the studs back every time the nut is removed. If the nut and stud don't become rust welded together

      Yup. First mod I did on my Porsche Cayman. Especially good for tracking the car too because of the track well-set. I run the Tarrett Engineering studs, and I’ve been happy with them, but I do like the hex wrench fastener on yours-looks much easier to install.
      Also, if you track the car (and therefore change the pads a lot) put in caliper studs too 👍🏻

  • @GuerrillaGorilla023
    @GuerrillaGorilla023 4 года назад +1

    I was looking at studs for days online after breaking my back changing my tires in the garage in the middle of the night with freezing temperatures outside. I waited too long to change them because a tire shop used a torque wrench on my locks and stripped them all. Was trying to get them off without damaging my 19" wheel but ended up having to pay somebody to get them off and wheels got damage in the wells anyway....oh well.
    You instantly put me over that edge. I'll be putting them on when i swap back to summers. I'll even use your links ;-)

    A little Anti-seize on the hub will help with removing the spacers too. Speaking from a MN driver I anti-seize everything. Nice choice on the tires. Big fan of the General Altimax Arctic.

    I have looked up SO MANY videos on Google, RUclips and various forums and your description alone about what you've done to your car so far summed up a lot of my inquiries and your video was a sponsored video on a differential flush! How have I never come across this just by searching the things I actually searched for??? I have a 2011 e90 xDrive so this will come in handy. Tho, you have some expensive ass taste on some of your modifications. Please remember a lot of items are re-branded Chinese products and German/Taiwan/Vietnam parts. But you do you!

    When using a torque wrench you just need to let the wrench click once, any more is applying over torque which can stretch the threads and cause possible failure.

    Very nice Jake. Are there gonna be future tuning videos? I'm very curious because this year we will buy our first n54 335i, an e93. Because we're addicted to BMW verts ;-). Dutch regards, Nico

    Lug bolts are easy if you know how to. Keep the bolt in the holes. You wont lose them. When install pick up the wheel by the spokes with your thumb on the head of bolt. Look through the spokes and guid bolt to hole. In your 335 look for the hidden tool that bmw provides. Look in the battery cover. In the tray under the carpet there is a guide pin.

    How about using some threaded rod to align the gokes? Afaik VW uses this "special tool" to make wheel install easier. Might be cheaper and almost as convenient as using stud conversion kit

    • @jake_spence

      That's an option, but I'd rather install this conversion kit once and never have to deal with it again.

    Now for the instance of the Loctite on the lug bolts come off if you want to convert back to the original? (I'm guessing that no one would want to but, I'm just saying in terms of being able to unscrew the bolts)
    Edit: Another question; why do you need the impact wrench?

      Jake Spence thank you for being so approachable and so easy to follow on YT. On the bolts, today I use a wheel stud tool for positioning, which works ok, but it’s a bit inconvenient.

      Jake Spence ok, Q about spacers for the stock wheels (I think I have the same pattern as you for your summer tires). Are spacers needed with the stud kit there too?

    • @jake_spence

      No spacers are needed. I only want them for looks, to push the wheel a little further out of the wheel well.

  • @brianfreeman8290

      I'd have to Google Ackermanns principles. But it's really not much different than getting aftermarket wheels. It changes the width, offset, size, etc.

    Hey Jake! ITs weird I havent found you before. I love BMW's too and im at the start of working on mine. I wanted to ask a question considering the alloys. Mine is a bmw e87 from 2011. Currently it has 16 inch alloys (205/55/r16) Would 18 in with 225/40/18r lead to clearance issues? (and do i have to watch ET for it) and if you simply dont know, I would just want to know the rim specs on your 335 and if you had to adjust any settings. Cheers! and subbed for more BMW tips :D

    • @jake_spence

  • @Law_Abiding_Citizen_ok
    @Law_Abiding_Citizen_ok 4 года назад +1

    In Vid you state that you torqued these down to 25 ft/lbs which is equal to 33.9 Nm.
    According to the manufacturer they should be tightened to 15 Nm so in effect you have over tightened them by over Twice as much!

    Man idk. Personally love the way BMW does it. All you need is just extended lug bolts and you rarely have problems like stripped bolts, stripped studs, damage to wheel, etc

    • @jake_spence
      @jake_spence  4 года назад

      You can strip a lug bolt the same way you can strip a stud or lug nut. To me, there is less of a chance for damage with the stud conversion kit because you just slide the wheels on and off. You don't have to worry about holding it on there, dropping it, etc.
