One thing I forgot to mention in the video! I HIGHLY recommend you purchase a Thin Wall Non-Marring/Protective Impact Wheel Socket kit. My normal impact sockets barely fit around the lug nut between it and the wheel. You don't want to damage your wheels so purchase a kit like this one below: amzn.to/3XL6vsd

well, with bolts you're more flexible with the thickness of the wheels, u can't put any wheel that is too big on your lug setup if its to short, with bolts you just need to buy a different lenght.

That's a valid point! But it's pretty easy to swap studs if you had to.

just got my wheel stud kit for my 8v s3. it goes from 5x112 to 5x114. the stock wheel offset is a 49 offset. the new wheels offset is a 35 offset, do you think i will need to run some spacers like 14 mm to keep the same caliper clearance with the deeper offset wheel ?

Why does Vargas tell you not to use hub rings? And other manufacturers tell you it's a must, you're gonna have vibrations if the bore is like 73.1mm and Vargas says it might break a stud, that doesn't sound right to me, you need hub rings.

I'm sure the bolts give the manufacturer savings in the assembly process as well. Studs have to be pressed in on most applications. I do wonder over time how a stud that screws into the rotor will hold up, like feels like there is a chance repeated impact gun use will cause them to loosen up.

Question - Eventually the disc rotors will wear down and need to be replaced. Do the rotors just pull out over the studs, like all other "normal" cars? Or do the studs need to be removed and re-used on the new rotors?

Off topic question. I’ve got a 2012 A7 3.0T. I looked for your timing chain video I watched a while back but couldn’t find it. With OBD11 I can view the cylinder 1 timing adjustment value degree but it’s jumping all over the place sporadically. -1.2 through +7.2 never settles to a constant number. No engine error codes. Have you ever seen or heard of this? Is the solution replacement of the timing chain tensioners? Or whatever sensor it’s getting it’s readings from? Any help anyone has would be much appreciated!

Bro, paint the tips of those studs black! Lol Not really feeling how much the studs stick out. Reminds me of those lug nut spikes. Question though, on the new wheels why didn’t you just get the offset you’re trying to achieve and ditch the spacers? Just curious

I actually love the look. They don't really stick out far at all... They don't go beyond the face of the wheel spokes. And I'll have a video on the wheels & fitment soon, but I got these wheels on a dumb sale. They retailed for over 400$ per wheel, but I got the entire set for 438$ shipped. Drawback to that is it was an end if the year inventory clean out sale, so offset options were limited.
