GT500 Carbon wheels on my GT350 - please help

[Wilkman96]

What length studs did you use?
I used 3” studs. Removing and installing one hub took longer an removing and installing all 20 studs.

I didn’t measure but oem cftp studs

I ended up replacing just the studs. It was about a 7 hour job.

Looks great. Do yourself a favor and put some PPF on those wheels, especially if you're running sport cup 2s. I drove about 100 miles yesterday on mine and they already have a small chip on the wheel. Roads in this area are awful so I'm not surprised. The SC2s toss a lot of pebbles.

I put PPF on my 350 CF wheels already, but like a dope, drove the 500 CFs with no PPF and already chipped.

Here is how clean a wheel can look with PPF. It's barely noticeable and completely invisible from standing distance.

That's an easy fix. Get a small syringe and mix some.stone coat (art coat) and apply a drop over the chip. Wet sand and polish. Good as new.

Edit:
I did PPF my wheels. You are right, them tires throw stones even better than a wife can.
