BMW F30 Wheel Stud Conversion (Motorsport Hardware Kit!)

[@BSed31]

Just wanted to say... BOOP! (started prepping my hubs today-kit came in last week! thanks!)

[@JimNewton99]

I was debating on this .. rotated my tires tonight for the first time. Dear lord what a pain in the ass. I even had the hanger tool from BMS. It seems cross threading would be super easy to do if you're impatient or a hack.. and the threads in the hub will eventually stretch. Studs it is...

[@KiesMotorsports]

I love it so far, I wish I did it a year ago, ha

[@fondoo]

Thanks Bryan. Just picked up my set. Looking forward on how easy it to swap wheels now from my BBS to stock.

[@tommytexter4054]

My goodness!!! This is amazing! I used to change my tires all the time, pain in the ass to line the fxxking bolts up..i want this

[@KiesMotorsports]

Do it 👍

[@lordgibbness]

About to install studs on my E46 M3. Went with 90mm studs at the rear (12mm spacers on my road wheels / 20mm spacers on my track wheels) and 82mm studs up front (15mm spacers on my road wheels / no spacers on my track wheels).

[@KiesMotorsports]

Nice!

[@Travios1115]

I found myself saying "Boop" just like you when I did mine today. lol

[@KiesMotorsports]

Ha, you have to!

[@finagansbmw8210]

Thanks so much for this video! This will be one of the first mods I will do on my F30

[@tlbern7710]

Great video as always. Love the sound effects when putting the thread lock on.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! Lol

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Boop

[@KiesMotorsports]

lol

[@bulletpain01]

super easy install! Very happy with the conversion

[@dragngt]

That grind that you hear from people sliding their wheels over the studs kills me. I have cars with and without wheel studs and I like being able to put the wheels on the BMW without grinding a pricey forged wheel over wheel studs.

[@Alikhan78611]

Don't know about you but it's sticking out way too much for my liking but it will definitely make it easier to change tires.

[@WHTMAN-ei7ik]

Muhammad Ali Reason it’s sticking out is since he wants to run spacers in the future and maybe wider wheels he went ahead and got longer studs so he doesn’t have to get them in the future! He’ll have different rims soon I’m guessing!!!

[@GurdeepxSingh]

WHTMAN0815 wider wheels don't require longer studs. Now as for the spacers, yes you'd want longer studs for sure.

[@KiesMotorsports]

This is true..

[@Kaptain.Obvious]

Two of mine backed out?/? Then I realized what I forgot. Boop. All good now. It’s all in the Details.

[@helmhamburgerhand]

Honestly going to have to do this for the wheels I got for my Jeep Cherokee. Paired with a Hub Ring to even things out to tame the weird European/American Frankenstein's monster 😆

[@CarlosRodriquezdrexelmart]

Awesome video bro I will definitely buy this item thank you

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! Yea, they are great so far!

[@Scott-py1sd]

So how do you stop someon from stealing your alloys? No locking bolts...

[@KiesMotorsports]

Wheel locks 😀

[@gen13pinoy]

Do they sell security lock for these conversion?

[@rhdjonn]

Lmaol this is great im actually doing mine tomorrow and was looking at a few How to. Thanks for the great info you guys provide

[@KiesMotorsports]

Nice timing!

[@jigga594]

When doing this conversion, do wheel spacers need to be added? Or is it ready to go if one wants to keep the stock look? Thanks for your videos and insight.

[@KiesMotorsports]

You can do either option 👍🏼

[@dennishillback1259]

Thank You very good video.

[@pratikwiips3]

Are you still able to take out the brake discs with the wheel studs attached to the hub? Or do you need to remove the studs to take out the brake disc?

[@tylerbartz5559]

I know the video is old but do you have an update on the wheel studs? Like how have they held up to the winter how strong are they?

[@jorgea279]

How are they holding up?

[@arthatis]

Is there a good way to tell what length studs I should get? On Kies theres 65mm thru 90mm - I have aftermarket wheels (and won't be using spacers with these) so I'm not entirely sure which to go with

[@TheDarkForce187]

Hey Bryan, what ft/lb torque limiting stick did you use there?

[@skreech01]

BLooP

[@MAGNUSGARAGE]

How's it holding up? Still good? Any maintenance you have to do on them?

[@BSed31]

Started prepping mine for install today. I'd just put some kind of grease on the ends that are exposed to the elements so they don't rust.

[@BSed31]

So a year later and I would not advise running these in colder climates with open ended lug nuts. Changed my wheels last week and 7 out of the 20 studs actually came out with the lug nut seized to the stud. It was a nightmare. Studs were rusted and corroded, lug nuts seized. I went though a CT winter with open ended nuts and I will not do that again. I might bail on the stud idea and remove them before winter and go back to wheel bolts. Haven't decided yet. FYI I did not put any sort of grease or protectant on the ends of the studs before winter, but maybe I should have.

[@yeahisAnthony]

What length did you get 90mm? Thanks in advance!!

[@ryancastro3017]

These are 78mm

[@markyrose79]

Nice Brian! Does this kit include wheel locks or do I have to buy those separately?

[@aconfusedazn]

markyrose79 I’ve heard issues with putting wheel locks on these

[@KiesMotorsports]

Hi, it doesn't, but you shouldn't have any problem putting them on, just like if your car came with wheel studs :)

[@KiesMotorsports]

You just have to make sure you get the right threading and size and you shouldn't have an issue

[@markyrose79]

By any chance do you know the thread size on our F30s?

[@markyrose79]

Is it 12x1.5?

[@Jcboy0512]

Nice video :D

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@DennisKarlsson]

If you want to use spacers with bolts you just use longer bolts. Those studs are probably really dangerous sticking out like that.

[@KiesMotorsports]

When the wheel is on, the danger is gone

[@DennisKarlsson]

@@KiesMotorsports No, I see the studs are still sticking out after you put the wheel back on. Bolts are safer.

[@hiphopsocnroc]

@@DennisKarlsson bolts are safer? how so, I've used studs on my bmws for the track with no issues, i call bs

[@rogerlee6289]

Feel like this gives criminals the upper hand to stealing your rims

[@ryancastro3017]

If you use thread locker, it will be quite hard to get the studs off. The allen key will strip before it moves the stud

[@hiphopsocnroc]

@@ryancastro3017 he said stealing your rims not your studs, lol, with the oem lugs there is a security feature built in, so you need a special key to remove the wheels.

[@ryancastro395]

Thanks for the video! You can also check out www.motorsporthardware.com and email us at [e-mail] for any questions or inquiries!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks Ryan!

[@markyrose79]

What's the thread pattern for the f30? 14.25 or 14.50? Thanks

[@ryancastro3017]

@@markyrose79 The f30 is 14x1.25 but these studs convert to more durable/robust 14x1.5 like Porsche/Audi/Merc

[@zenmenstw]

POOP ;D

[@henksmit8586]

Poeeepppp

[@Noodle-2024]

Hahahahahaha pleas bay Mitsubishi hhahahahahha

[@Reggiepouerie]

Can you add wheel locks to this kit?? Im putting some new rims on my f30 and so far i cannot find any wheel locks for it. Any suggestions??
