    Order studs for an Evo 8. An Evo 8 uses the exact same hub as a vr4, same part # through Mitsubishi even.

    well I bought titanium wheel nuts so I wanted titanium on titanium. So ordering custom studs from the alibaba site. That's why I want to know ^^

    don't ask me why I buy these unessessary things I get ideas sometimes...

    I'd highly recommend not using titanium on titanium unless you plan on replacing the studs often. For one titanium on titanium will gall easily if you change wheels often, and for the same stud specs the titanium studs will likely be weaker (unless the Mitsu OEM studs are garbage like Subaru's OEM studs)

    alright but I read you can put locktight or copperpaste on and they wont gall ?

    but yeah maybe I should save my money for other lightweight things they where not super expensive but not cheap either. 11,50$/stud

    $11.50/stud * 20 studs = $230. seems like a lot of money for some wheel studs that save a couple grams. there are far better/cheaper weight reduction options.

    agree. but I plan on doing most of the weight reduction mods eventually anyways

    I read on another board a guy with a supra replaced every single hardware on his car to titanium and saved like 50 lbs of weight

    but this is probably the last step for someone that has done all the other weightreduction because it's not the most cost effective ^^

    weight saved for the studs is around 400 grams

    weight saved for the nuts like 600

    so atleast one kilo (2.25 lbs)
