Stud conversion kit

Can anyone recommend a stud conversion kit that is compatible with BC Forged wheels? I know the stock lug nuts don’t work so I’m assuming all the stud conversion kits I am finding won’t work with these wheels either.

Any recommendations?

Why don't the stock lug bolts work?

I just figured the stock lugs didn’t work because I was given a new set of lugs with the wheels. I just went outside and tried a stock lug with BC wheels and it fit just fine.

Duh 🤔

I'm currently running these and they've been great for 20k+ of abuse. They are a little pricey being titanium but they won't corrode like steel will.

Standard, 82mm (to allow for larger spacers if needed), M14x1.25.

Another option. They have a 15% off sale going on, "jed15". It ends soon tho.

Thanks Brock. Would 70mm length be good with 9.5 front and 11 rear wheel sizes?

I’m looking at these from iND but not sure if I need the 70mm or 80mm length. I am not using spacers.

Yes either will work (regardless of wheel widths). The extra length only comes into play for running spacers. Since I run quite a few different wheel combinations, some with spacers and some without, I opted for the longer studs to allow for larger spacers if needed.

You can run 82mm without spacers, they will just stick out slightly further.

This is 82mm studs and no spacers on the BCF. The fronts were flush due to the flatter concave profile.

Either will work. If you don't plan on running large spacers I would go 70mm and they won't stick out too far.
