Wheel mounting guides?

[Al.B]

I saw a wheel spacer video that mentioned a guide bolt was included with spacers to help line up the spacers and holes. I thought that would have made mounting much faster and easier but the spacers I bought don’t come with a guide bolt. I will probably be swapping wheels about every 1-2 months for autocross so that would make my lifer easier. Has anyone seen these guide bolts for sale anywhere. I couldn’t find anything. If not I assume i can maybe find a bolt that is threaded the same and use that.

I found what I was looking for. I shouldn’t have searched specifically for the Supra. They are called wheel hanger lug bolt guide tool if anyone else was wondering.

these should work well for 9 bucks

I have one laying around some where, but if you're swapping that often why not do a stud conversion?

I though about it but I think I prefer bolts to lugs. I’ve had both types through the years and I’ve broken several lugs nuts but never had an issue with the bolts.

I second the stud conversion recommendation. I've been autocrossing for over 20 years and my first upgrade for my MINI cooper S and now this Supra was a stud conversion. Save yourself the headache.

I've done stud conversions on my BMWs in the past but sticking with the bolts now.

Meh. Likely cheap shitty bolts or install wrong. Burger Motor sports sells the pin of your settled on that.
