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 bought wheels on ebay that i thought, and the seller thought were 5x100 but were actually 5x114.3 so i had to get the adaptors made in order for the wheels to fit my car. how much did that run you? It ran me around 300 QUOTE(soulshadow @ Dec 3, 2006 - 10:30 AM) [snapback]507414[/snapback] Can u guys really trust your life to a aluminium spacer with studs on them? Its like bolting two rims on. your not really running two rims. your basicaly just making the offset of your wheel smaller. ll take some picks and show you what i mean |

QUOTE your not really running two rims. your basicaly just making the offset of your wheel smaller. ll take some picks and show you what i mean You are correcting ofset TO THE RIGHT ONE. Celica ofset is +38. so if you are using wheels of +42 so you are putting your rims MORE inside - so using spacers is just putting rims into correct position as it WAS from factory. Tom - my honest opinion - if you gonna go with 15mm spacers - try to find ones what bolts on to your stock studs and spacers have own studs... 15mm longer studs just doesnt sound too good for me... Thanks god my new Volks are +32... More then enouth - i will even have to roll my fenders... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
