I'm Buying Spacers: Will 25Mm Work Without Cutting Factory Studs

[islade]

Hi guys,

I've done a search but can't find what i'm looking for...

I wanna space my rear wheels out 20 or 30mm. I don't wanna cut the factory studs, coz i'll eventually get some sweeet wheels and not need spacers anymore.

Can I use 25mm spacers and not have to cut studs? If that's no good, would 30mm work? I'm going to get them from Just Jap, unless you guys have a better recommendation?

Just pull the wheel off and measure how far out past the brake rotor the stud projects.

Then look at the back of the rim and see if it is solid where the stud will sit.

what rims? they might have holes for the studs

If u do have to cut them make sure u have the wheel nuts on the studs against the rotor before u cut. That way after u cut the stud u can wind the nut off and it will rethread the cut end back to normall

Hey guys, just posting up in case it helps anybody in future.

I put the 25mm spacers on the back. Car looks sooo much better now, like the way it's supposed to be, rather than inset wheels (i have 18x8 +30).

I didn't even realise it, but my wheel had heaps of space for the studs between each mounting point, so i could even run like 10mm bolt on spacers and with 15mm of stud protruding, it wouldn't be a problem. So if anybody else is thinking of doing this, check your wheels like was mentioned in this thread
