    Default Race star wheels

    I just ordered some race star wheels and I've been reading up on what people have done to make them work. So far I've gotten 2 different answers. One says to change the studs and another says to change the washers and lug nuts...I need help deciding and the easier way

    1 Vote for NOT NEEDED.. But you already knew that Have been running with stock studs for 2 years and no issues. Buy lug nuts and washers and be done.

    True, 100% Direct Bolt on with the Supplied washers. Boxes said 5x120mm on them. Fit Perfect. Call LB Davis @ RaceStar if you need help making sure you order the correct set. I called him, got the correct info and then ordered from Summit.

    I got polished. LB told me both were available. Only got the polished since I have chrome trim on the car.
