  • Wheel adapter new knurl larger than previous studs?

    I have some wheel adapters that use press in studs. I purchased some extended M12x1.5 studs to be able to run the AMG rims I have. When I brought the new studs to the shop to have them pressed in, I was told that the diameter of the knurl is 2mm more than the previous studs I had.



    I'm guessing I'm stuck and will have to buy new studs with a proper knurl size?

    The new one I have are 14.3mm, I think my old ones are 12.??mm, what standard knurl sizes are there out there?

    about 50mm long (+/- 3mm)

    Anyone have these and what's your asking price?
