    Correct wheel stud size for 1973 911T coupe?

    I'm replacing the wheel studs on a '73 911 T. It currently has super long 'autoX' style studs. I see they sell 45mm and 52mm studs. Which ones should I get? The wheels are 15x6 stock cookie cutters with the aluminum factory nuts.

    Thanks.

    Paul

    You want 45mm studs. 52mm studs will damage the factory lug nuts.

    Regards
