mrtod Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Guys It's probably been covered a gazillion times before but inept searching couldn't find the answer. I'm looking to fit a new set of rims on my 1995 300Tdi 90. Does anyone know if Zu alloys require long wheel studs or will they fit on with the standard ones? Also (whilst I am at it) has anyone used Cooper Discoverer S/T tires and do they conform to the new S mark sound regs? Thanks in advance Tod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 They use the standard studs (as do they all) but of course you need the correct nuts for alloy wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Litch - which type of wheels require the longer studs - is it wolf rims etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yup, it's the wolf rims because of the material thickness but they don't actually need longer studs but people prefer more engagement in the wheel nut, which, I suppose, is no bad thing.

scoutboy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have a set of the cooper discover and from what i read about them they do conform to the S mark sound level, they are not that noisey at all, compaired to the insa turbo special track i use to have on there. The STT that i have are the new style which have a better side wall with more grip on the side un like the ones that mark williams has on 4x4 is born, they seam to be the older style.

mrtod Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks - makes swapping to alloys all the easier:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtod Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for the info on the Coopers - would obviously prefer to have them with the S marking for sound as the pattern is more likely to remain in production and be replaceable like-for-like if I damage one.
