Wheel Nut Revolutions

Just got some new wheels for the kit. It takes 10 revolutions to tighten the nuts.

 

First question - Do I need longer studs.

 

 

Second question - As I currently have standard studs that were from a donor Sierra with steel wheels which length should I go for.

 

Cheers

They are cap headed. I think I am satisfied that the stud hasn't reached the cap of the nut because at point the nut tightens I can see the wheel close up against the hub.

for wheel nuts it is not about the amount of turns its about thread engagement, see the following website which i found educational.

brief summary - "Minimum thread engagement must be equal to the thread diameter of the wheel stud. Example: M12 x 1.5 nut requires a minimum of 12mm (.472”) of thread engagement"
