i dont know much about the strengths of a wheel but that should be ok shouldnt it? i mean ive seen standard peugeots and citroens with only 3 studs on their wheels and they seem ok?

 

 

Fortwo Smart cars comes with 3 studs too. :notworthy:

 

They might well run 3 studs! But how much power? And cornering force? Its simple, does it look safe.......... dont mean to be funny but where talking 3 studs not three wheels, or two..... or one for that matter. I would take forum members advice on this.

 

 

id quote an engineer not a forum member, unless any of you guys are engineers and can comment?

 

i stand by my comment, i mean the whole hubs on most cars rear wheels and some fronts are held on by a needle bearing and one nut.. but we can compare situations all day,

yes some wheel manufacturers such as SSR did have wheels with same dual fitament bolt patterns same as what i did 5X100 and 4X100.

nowadays you got many casted wheels with dual fitaments as well 4X100 and 4X114.3 or 5X100 and 5X 114.3

what peeps do not understand is cast vs forged, and what is hub centric vs bolt centric
