Step 1
Jack up the vehicle and secure it on jackstands.Unbolt the lug bolts.

Step 2
Remove wheel from hub.

Step 3
Remove wheel and clean hub of all dirt and/or surface rush with a wire wheel to ensure a clean and flush surface. [optional]

Step 4
Apply loctite onto the end of the studs and hand tighten the studs onto the hub.

Step 5
Use an allen wrench to completely tighten the studs onto the hub.

Step 6
Put your wheel back on and torque down the wheel locks. Repeat for the other three wheels.

This is how it will look finished without the wheel on it yet(also has a spacer on it)

Enjoy!

That will happen when you torque your lug nuts on.

Thank you. You can torque it down to the same spec as the lugs ahead of time, or you can just torque it down when you torque down the lug nuts.

is there an advantage to using studs over bolts?

Quick wheel changes, easy wheel installation/removal as well no lug replacement when running different thicknesses of spacers.
