The only place that bolts shine over studs is the fact that you can just swap them out super quick and easy. However, I've only ever had to replace studs once, on a 20 year old car, and they were the original studs (Messed up through stupidity, not wear), so they don't wear out overly quickly. (The lug nuts are the wear item with studs, and they're just as quick and easy to swap as bolts

Depends on how many you gotta deal with. When I was a lube tech I hated when they came in

In high performance application, when we need strength, we use Studs. For heads, wheels, etc

I’ve had to change 3 studs in 10 years. I feel like the lug bolts loosen easier than studs. As for accurate torque. You can’t beat a stud. Just my pref

Beside the maintenance aspect there is another thing about bolts vs studs:stud and nut is stronger than bolt. The bolt is twisted by the wrench as you tighten it. Studs are torqued only by the thread friction and not the wrench. So serious applications use studs and nuts and not bolts like truck engine head studs and nuts rather than bolts.

Can closed lug nuts be a problem? Like if they max out before holding the rim against the hub well enough?

When you're used to bolts changing wheels get as fast if not faster than with studs imo

You only ever have to replace bearings and hubs once in a cars life so I'll save my back and stick with studs

Actually the bolt design is harder to repair if broken because most likely the bolt was cross threaded or the threads in the bearing were bad so the whole unit has to be replaced. Rather if a stud is damaged that singular stud can be replaced not the whole unit. I mean there is a reason people stud heads and other high performance parts.

The wheel bolts will outlive anything on a BM. I don't why Americans make such a big fuss out of it. It's pretty easy to deal with as well. I mean maybe if u're not used to them just put 2 screw drivers in the lining holes(found in-between the holes on the hub and oem wheels) and you're off

I’m in a automotive class and I prefer studs as long as your teammate isn’t an idiot that threading the lug nuts on with an impact is fine and doesn’t f anything up.

It was quite literally on the stud at like a thirty degree angle it’s pretty annoying.

Start it by hand then use an impact when i do it at home i use my stubby milwaukee on the low setting and it only does like 45 then so it starts it without over torquing

I'm European and i think lug studs look awesome. While bolts don't make wheel replacement take 2-3 hours like some people claim (mostly the people who shouldn't even look at the bolts) studs definitely are more convenient.j

Lug bolts have a tendency to seize and be a pain to remove. I blame the heat of the brakes and all of the crap they use on the roads here in the winter. Fronts are almost worse than the rears

try putting on a 40" mud tire on heavy ass steel rims with no centering rings on a wv with lug bolts (been there done that) where the rotor spins freely. and the car is on a lift😆 tire and rim combo sits at a comfy 75kgs! do that 4 times. than go to a car with lug studs, and see which one breaks you back first🤣

Yes, a lug stud is mounted into the hub, and you screw the lug nut onto it. A lug bolt, on the other hand, screws into a hole in the hub.

malaysia make stud before but install rim little bit dificult.

studs are the way to go. bolts carry the weight of the corners on the rotating fastener when you get a flat, making it much harder to break free on th way off, and harder to align on the way in.

Studs

Personally I absolutely HATE the bolts, I rather the studs n lug nuts

studs are the best

Seems like this is from the point of view of someone that has never replaced a stud. It can be a bit of a hassle in some cases, but in most cases a 3 lb. sledge will knock out a damaged stud just fine.

For me no difference. You just have to know the ways. Easy in both cases

With how often you have to actually replace a wheel stud your better off using them compared to bolts.

A lug is what you screw onto the stud to hold the wheel assembly on the car. A lug is typically tightened to between 60 and 100 ft-lb of torque. Lugs should always be tightened in a star pattern and final torque spec should always be performed with a properly calibrated torque wrench. Do not use an impact to tighten lugs as it will definitely overtighten them and do not use torque sticks as they are not really accurate.

Lmao, studs are super easy to transfer over. You just have to not be stupid about it. Also, studs make aligning during a tire change super easy with no need to spin the tire to get it aligned. You don't really know what you're talking about here and that's obvious to anyone who knows a little bit about cars. Bolts are also weaker and more costly to make. If you break a stud, you bang it out and slip the new one in. Proper torque will actually set it I've done a bunch of studs over the years and have never wished they were bolts.
