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.

The way to go in terms of spacers is replacing the studs. Do not purchase spacers that have studs attached to them. Replacing studs is not a hard job to do, i will be doing the job soon so i can do a write up if you'd like.
If you buy spacers, buy H&R brand product. They are by far the best spacer to buy and they're track used and proven to be reliable. here is a link to their website, http://www.hrsprings.com/site/index.html |
