Hey guys,
so recently I moved to Canberra for uni and the day before I left I finally decided to put my VE SSV rims on my VZ SV6 they had been machined when I bought them so thought nothing of it and put them on including the original VZ nuts. Car drove fine until we got into Canberra and felt a vibration in the rear passenger side, pulled over and snapped probably about 5mm of wheel stud just enough for the nut not to go back on... so I’ve read all up on it finding out about the 2mm difference in diameter of wheel stud between the VE and VZ and about tapered wheel studs you can buy I’m just wondering since it was literally the first drive on the rims if this could be a reoccurring issue or not even if I change wheel nuts all all that
cheers
