    @martin@nemesis is the man for this. He runs a WSC on his B9 RS5. He knows the offerings well.

    Yes I run a titanium stud conversion on my car. We offer them in 75mm and 82mm lengths with both ball seat or cone seat lugs. The 75mm would be best for wheels without spacers but can accommodate up to 15mm spacers, while the 82mm can accommodate up to 22mm.

    I run 75mm kit and here’s how they look with 12mm spacers.



    We also offer steel stud kits available in black. Cone lugs in black with silver ball seat.

    I am running the MRG titanium stud kit on my B9 S4 in the shorter size. Very nice kit and quality is excellent. I ran a different brand of stud kit that was not a great quality and the finish failed after about a year so I switched back to bolts until I swiped a set of these. Excuse the dust, the AP brakes are hard to keep clean.

    What size are those RSe10's, and do they fit with the stock callipers? They look great.

    They are 19x9, stock brakes have plenty of room. Stock wheels barely clear the ap caliper, these are 390mm rotors.

    Gotcha, thanks for that info. Are they ET35, ET40, or ET45? Sorry, can't remember which offsets they had available haha.

    This thread is very interesting, first in that I know nothing about this subject, and two that those brakes look awesome, could you share any details on the kit you are running and how you were able to convert?

    Wheels are et40. I found the kit from someone selling them as a custom setup they had built for their RS5 in the UK. They were direct bolt on. No US company was willing to make the hats or caliper brackets for AP calipers. I have been very happy with them. I took the car out for a track day at the end of last season, but the event got rained out after several M3s tried to absorb into tire walls. I think I made a post about them or posted within a brake forum post if you search my posts.
