Default bullet nose wheel studs
Does anyone have a source for bullet nose race studs for 944's.

Look at the ones with starter lead. Most bullet studs I have seen are the threaded type rather then the press in. THere is a note in the description that needs to be noted.
Installation requires a hole drilled and reamed to .562” diameter.

Keeps the nut from cross threading on the stud. You can literally run them down with an impact gun with no issues.

id bet its faster to mount the wheel on rather than fighting a flat-face stud. if you're doing nascar/f1 pitstops this could be helpful short of converting to center-lock

Try these guys. Not sure of they have press in ones or not but worth trying.

When I contacted them for press fit studs they said they did not have them.

ARP has press-in bullet-nose studs. Knurl diameter is .660 for fine thread, .685 for coarse. Threads will be either 5/8-18 or 5/8-11.

Disasterman, did you find something for our cars?
I only found sway away and MSI.
Anyone have experience with those 2?
