So I keep reading you need extended stubs for rear and extended boots for front but my T3 has studs front and rear!

WHAT DOES THIS MEEEEAAAANNN!

I want to fit some after market bbs (genuine) in new year when weather turns and want everything in place before I go to bolt them on.
They are 18 inch 5x112 8.5j fronts et 35 and 9j rears et35.

Could someone please tell me what I need in my box of bits come fitting day?

Many thanks

You might need thin (5nm) spacer on the front . You may meed to change the studs on the front depending on which size you gave already . The rears should fit ok . There are so many variables you wont kniw exactly whats needed untill you offer the wheels up. 8 1/2 on the front will foul the wheelarch widest really should be 8

extended studs longer bolts.........not boots and stubs!? if you have studs front and rears you'll just need tapered nuts to fit your alloys. you just need to offer one up to see if the studs are long enuf.
