MMX Performance BMW Wheel Stud Kit – Ball Seat M14x1.25

MMX Performance BMW Wheel Stud Kit – Ball Seat M14x1.25

Important Fitment Note: This kit is only for customers running aftermarket wheels that require Ball Seat nuts. Most BMW owners will need the Conical Seat nuts instead. Please verify your wheel seat type before ordering. Ball seat applications are rare and typically seen on some OZ and BBS wheels and certain replicas. See related products for the conical seat kit.

Why Convert to Studs and Nuts

• Faster, easier wheel changes compared to factory wheel bolts
• Reduces cross-threading risk and helps protect hub threads
• Supports changing spacer setups without running out of bolt thread engagement
• Ideal for vehicles that see regular track use or frequent wheel swaps

Product Details

• M14x1.25 heat-treated high carbon steel studs with chrome plated finish
• Ball seat lug nuts in a black gloss anodised finish
• Two stud lengths available:
  • 70mm: No spacers or up to 10mm spacers
  • 80mm: 10mm to 20mm spacers
• Exceeds OEM bolt strength for safety and durability
• Max vehicle weight rating: 2500 kg

Installation Notes

1. Remove wheels and clean hub threads and the short ends of the new studs with a suitable solvent (e.g., brake cleaner). Ensure threads are free of dirt and grease.
2. Confirm the stud shank passes cleanly through the brake disc holes and does not bottom on the disc.
3. Apply a thin coat of high-temperature threadlocker (Loctite Blue 2422 or equivalent, rated to 650°F) to the short end threads.
4. Using a 6mm Allen key, screw the short end of each stud into the hub until the shank seats. Do not overtighten. Tighten to around 30 ft-lbs (40 Nm).
5. Allow approximately three hours for the threadlocker to cure fully.
6. Refit wheels using a 19mm socket and torque the nuts to the factory specification for the original lug bolts.
7. Recheck nut torque after about 30 minutes of driving once the assembly has reached operating temperature.

Care Instructions

• This kit is not a locking or security solution.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline, solvent-based, or abrasive cleaners on anodised nuts.
• Use only pH-balanced soap and water. Avoid commercial carwashes that use aggressive chemicals.

Seat Type Guidance

• Ball Seat: Rare in the aftermarket; confirm if your wheels specify ball seat nuts.
• Conical Seat: Most OEM and many aftermarket BMW wheels use conical seat nuts. See related products for the conical version.
