What's up with people changing lug studs?

[Nickel]

I'm trying to store the HP wheels on the Sport Cups and replace them with the SVE MHP1 wheels in probably a 19x10 square. I can't see the reason for needing to replace your studs, run a spacer or use different lug nuts. They're the same spec as Ford wheels.

You are correct that you don’t need spacers or extended lugs for that setup. However, once you get to the 11” wide wheels with a square wheel setup (same offset front and rear) you need extended lugs and spacers for the front. That would allow rotating front and rear.

You can run an 11” wide square tire setup without extended lugs and spacers if you have proper offset wheels for the front. However, you won’t be able to rotate your tires (unless you have the tires removed and remounted front-to-back).

Take a look at Apex Wheels fitment guide for our cars, tons of great information there.

Right, there isn't one.

As mentioned previously when stepping up to true square 11" wheels, you need extended studs and spacers. You can run different offsets front to back so you don't need spacers or extended studs, but then you can't rotate front to back.

Don't forget if you go with the SVE MHP1 wheels you will need new tuner style lug nuts. All SVE wheels use a smaller lug hole and the factory lug nuts won't fit.

If you want to run a spacer than extended lugs are favorable.

If you store your wheels, make sure to burn them up before 4 years time. After that they’re useless. Essentially, the clock is ticking on tire life right after being released from the mold.

Store them as in save them for track days and dragon runs. I have multiple sets of wheels and tires for all of my cars.

They only have 1 in stock. The other option is to buy 4 replacement 10.5 wheels from Ford but they're overpricing them at $1K a pop.

4 years sounds a little conservative, I’ve always heard 7

Seems pretty reasonable and bunch of options to chose from:

The problem with these is not price, it's the weight. All Ford wheels are heavy AF (well except for carbonfiber ones)

I would do more research.

I know for a fact that a 4 year old tire on the track or in rain is shit.

Those are not the Handling Package wheels that come on Mach 1 HP's. Those are the PP2 wheels for the Mach 1. The link below is what comes on our HP's and $1k each.

Can't imagine tracking a single set of tires for 4 years it's more like 2-3sets a year.

On the street, a single set of michelin winter tires lived through 8 years and 2 cars, before it got sold together with the 2nd car. Grip was totally fine. I think next owner will do at least couple more years on them))))

Realistically, a set a weekend for track tires
