Wheel studs or factory wheel bolts
So the question is what do you prefer wheel studs or the factory wheel bolts?
I went to studs on my c2 and it was nicer using them
but my turbo has the PCCB’s.
Is it wise to stay with the factory bolts or can I use the studs with my brakes.
I think it would be easier using the studs in the sense of not hitting the rotors trying to put the wheel on. I know to use the guide pins but I’ll looking to see if there is any draw back to doing so with the studs.
I have not found anything in a search either.
So all and any input would be appreciated

I know that when you use studs versus torque to yield head bolts on a diesel, the clamping force is greater - which I suspect is similar here.
Someone with better math skills than me can probably explain it more concisely.

I just ordered some studs. Like everything, powdrhound has already posted on this with the porsche motorsport information. H&R 1454005 is the part number for what you want. They install with 32 ftlb of torque to the hub. Then get the steel lug nuts. They need 118 ft lb.
