Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? Because, race car. Wheel studs are required by many racing bodies because they are a safer way to ensure proper wheel-to-hub contact. Wheel studs allow the use of different length spacers. Lug bolts require custom lengths per spacer application. Installing wheels using wheel studs is much easier than using wheel bolts, as the studs will locate the wheel while the nuts secure the wheel. Wheel studs stay in the hub. The constant installation and removal of wheel bolts can cause accelerated wear on the bolt holes in the hubs.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts the process can be frustrating, holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future. Both conical and ball seat lug nuts are available for a maximum of 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm wheel spacer use.
