The only thing to be careful of when using the alloy H&R adapters is to not over-tighten the wheel bolts into the adapter as you can strip the threads ie. steel bolts into alloy threads.

I managed to do this on mine :oops: and I know of a few other guys who did the same.....it's easily done!

 

Might be worth getting them heli-coiled first imo.. :wink:

Yeah, my mate stripped the threads on his h&r's

ouch!

My H&R's have studs in them? are they a revised version?

Hmmm....maybe, due to the 'known' problem with stripping threads?...are they new?..

when i put the wheels on a had to raise the car up quite a lot for wheel clearance, but had a couple of mm shaved of adaptors, so it ll go a little lower, but its proibably not as low as it was.

 

i am using H+R adaptors, the threaded type, had no problems with the threads yet, but after reading this looks like i am gonna have to be careful

if you have a vr6 the adapters are fitted with studs

vr6 5 stud

g60 4 stud

g60 ones use bolts into the adapter.
