or
probably the stock 15" tyre size (should be easier to get)

Do you think there will be a tyre changing facility?

One question, is changing the rear wheel studs the same as the front ones, I have two that are screwed once the nuts come off.

Will check what I can do, what to sort out my tire rubbing problem tomorrow.

i'd say... you'd be pretty screwed once your nuts come off... (or maybe SCREWED is the wrong word...)

studs? yes they are.

all the studs on the s13 are splined, and pressed into the hubs.

you should be able to knock the old ones out, or better would be to remove the hubs, and use a hydraulic press to push them out, and then push the new ones in!

I did two at the front last year sometime, used the trusty bloodied, um I mean clean hammer. I just hope the rear ones have a gap like the front hubs so that I dont knock them into the inside of the hub or something.

no - if you follow the same method, things will be fine.

how did you get the new ones in properly?

placed them in from behind,ok that doesn't sound right

, pushed them in , sheesh, matching the splines or what ever you call it, as far as I could then just tightend the nuts till I felt it was in all the way. Got the idea from a drift video when I saw a guy knocking out his old bolts with a hammer.
