spacers?

[themeanest240]

i have a s13 with 5 lug conversion, z32 all around, and rear extended studs, and i want to run spacers cause the car is widebody...can i run hubcentric spacers with the rear extended studs?or do i have to get the ones you just slide on, i cant find too many higher mm in that kind, basically just wondering if anyone has extended studs and is running hubcentric spacer and how big, brand?thanks

fyi, you can get hubcentric rings made for you. Just curious, how thick of a spacer are you looking to get? If its anything thicker than 10-15mm, I'd recommend just getting bolt on spacers and swap back to stock studs.

btw, your sig is too big. You should resize it.

taking studs out is cake... its the putting on that might need a bit more effort.

To take them out, just bang out the studs with a hammer. Everything else is kinda self explanatory... when putting it in, just use 1 lug nut thats slightly larger as a spacer, then with some open ended acorn lug nut, use that to pull in the stud (with an air wrench). Make sure the stud is ALL the way in the hub... seriously, if you think its not in all the way... then it probably isn't, lol.

i guess im just going to order a couple sets of these..http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...7.m29you think its bad to stack them?none of my wheels even fit cuz idiots that mounted my tires put all different weights so they hit, damn morons.good buy though?

[adrianfromthecastle]

honestly, I dont think its safe at all to stack them.... not too mention the amount of stress your putting on the studs alone.

I was referring to this type of spacer.. which would seem a bit safer than your idea..



but the reason why I suggested swapping back to stock studs on the hub is because the extended studs you currently have won't allow for bolt on spacers to fit.

yea i dont think im going to stack them, i am just going to buy a set of these, and down the road when i get money, ill try to find some regular size studs and get the nice bolt on ones.thanks again man!

[adrianfromthecastle]

no prob...

ykno, regular studs aren't that much, lol... I think I paid like less than $1 each at the parts store or something.
