The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

this is the only reason to run studs on a northern car, that i can see. otherwise, yes - corrosion nightmare as BP pointed out.

i use bolts and don't use a hanger. i get the wheel on and centered, and then hold it in place with my foot at the bottom of the wheel/tire while i get the first bolt in.

That's a good tip. I've never had a problem without a hanger either, even with the X3's boat anchors. Must just be because I'm so freaking jacked.

I like the studs myself. The original reason I got studs was that I was going through different thicknesses of spacers and different wheels. Saved me a lot of money in buying a bunch of different sizes of bolts.

That was definitely the nice part about studs. It was far easier to swap between my three sets of wheels, since my CH's weigh a metric butt-ton and my winter wheels require spacers. I didn't have to maintain two different sets of attaching hardware.

The hangar is a necessity for my personally. The CHs weigh so much that I'm tired as heck by the time I end up putting on my third wheel. By then I'm struggling to hold the wheel up, let alone keep it centered while I fish for the bolts that somehow managed to roll away from me. lol

I'm fat, weak, and lazy. There can't be a worse combo for doing car work. lmao

For really heavy wheel or if I'm lazy, I lower the car on the jack so I only have to lift the tire an inch or two then put a long pry bar under the tire and lift. It's a breeze with the leverage the pry bar gives you

No. Stop using that word.

What's the adage/aphorism/literary term for phrase:

"Give a lazy man a difficult job and he'll find the most efficient way to do it."

Frankly, I have never heard it put in such an eloquent manner. Classy AF.
