I have an issue - in order to put beautiful Volk Racing rims I need spacers - 10-15mm.
In such case I also would need to change studs to longer ones. I called one company producing spacers and studs and they said - no problem, we can do it for you but reconsider longer studs as this is quite dangerous to put them on. They rather recommended spacers with studs in them but they come only from 23 mm thickness up, which is too much for me. Anyone has experience with longer studs? I will drive with these wheels fast and hard so need to be sure that everything is perfectly safe. -------------------- '94 ST202 - tuned, highly apprieciated, but sold.

I have same problem Tomasz... Everything what they told you is true. That minimum thickenss is because stock studs are 2,8cm on back and 2,5cm on front and you need "cover them" and use studs (bolts) on spacer or be sure nut will not fell off 1,5(1,8)cm studs. About safe/tot safe issue... someone tells "less bolted pieces you use the better" someone other tells "long stud is dangerous and should split off because of higher load on it".
Honestly I really don't now what is safest for sure... What I know I will use spacers with studs in near future for myself (2,3 in front and 2,8 in back) because of two reasons: 1. I will use them only with summer tires (so reason one is "removability") 2. I don't believe 5,6 studs in back and 4,8 in front are more safe than spacers with normal length studs... appreciate any other opinion.
