Converting to wheel studs

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to transform a 2003 C2 from the standard wheel carrier setup (with bolts) to using wheel studs?

I do a number of track events, and it certainly would be easier when changing wheels to have the studs already in place on the wheel carrier vs. trying to get the bolts to match up (without beating up the calipers, etc.).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you tried using the bolt line up tool that comes in the jack kit? It makes putting the wheels on a breeze. I use it all the time.

agreed. I bought one for my Audi but before I did, I had one I made from an old lugnut that I chopped and welded a piece of 3/8'' SS to it, and then powder coated it. works like a champ!

I thought I heard a very loud slapping sound followed by a very loud "DOH".
