Although often overlooked, BMW New Six wheel studs are obviously very important since they are greatly responsible for keeping your wheels firmly attached to your hubs. After over-tightening and repeated use over the years, your factory BMW New Six wheel studs can get stripped out and won't allow you to run all of your lug nuts safely. Anyone running wheel spacers is strongly advised to get extended BMW New Six wheel studs to ensure that enough threads are exposed to safely attach the wheels.

Wheel studs are a necessity, and it's especially important to keep track of them if you do a lot of hard driving or remove your wheels a lot. Extended BMW New Six wheel studs can offer you a small safety margin if you do a lot of driving on the track. Should your lug nuts ever loosen up for any reason, you will have the benefit of more threads to keep your wheel on your car until you can safely make a pit stop. Of course, the most benefit with extended BMW New Six wheel studs is had when they are used in conjunction with longer lug nuts, which offer much more bite than standard nuts.

Q: What are wheel studs? Why buy them?
A: Wheel studs are the threaded pieces that extend through your axles and hubs and allow your wheels to be firmly attached to your ride. Studs are highly vulnerable to damage from stripped lug nuts and over-tightening. Both of these situations pose a major safety hazard. A stripped stud means that you cannot properly tighten your wheel all the way, and a stud that has been over-tightened can suddenly snap putting you in urgent danger. In either case you should immediately replace all of your studs with a brand new replacement set. High performance studs are also available with greatly increased strength that will hold up to large sticky tires and spirited driving. In addition studs come in varying lengths so if you are changing to wheels that are thicker than your originals or want to run wheel spacers, you can buy extended studs to accommodate your needs.
