Wheel stud issues

Recommended Posts

Hey guys as some of you are aware ive just got my ACS alloys redone, now the offset on the mags is 25p and they are 7.5 inch wide.

But ive added 5mm spacers to the rear to fill the guards (making the Alloys 20p i guess) and the factory wheel studs reach but im not happy with the depth of them (ie they dont screw in enough) so im a little worried esp with v8 power.

What size studs do i need? And where is the best place to get them?

Cheers

Riley

what we have for ours running 15mm spacers in the front to bring the offset of the LMs from 35 down to 20mm.

Might do that, might actually upgrade to the 8mm spacers as they look like they might go on alot easier than the ones im currently using. That will make my offset 17p on the rear and will hopefully fill the rolled and slightly flared guards. What you think? want it to look as fat as possible, maby even the 15mm spacers lol ? im putting in the adjustable subframe bushes to so that will fill the guards a little more, thoughts on that?

Bearing in mind that no spacers are legal! <_<

Adapters that are bolted on to the hub, then wheels bolted to them are ok :)

Thats kind of a contradiction,

Spacers that have a centric ring slot cut into them and correct length high tensile bolts are far far stronger than the dodgy hack job that is adapters double bolted.
