are wheel spacers dodgy at all?

 

Depends what size your thinking of using and as long as the wheel still locates on the hub I dont personally see a problem but take in to consideration you have less stud to put the wheel nut on so the simple option for that is long studs

Thats another thing, know anywhere i can get longer studs?

 

Had problems fitting big brakes in my saff and i'm using spacers, as long as the spacers used are hub centric and they sit on existing hub shouldn't cause any problems,

I had 6mm on my saff and it was fine

 

Ive just put longer studs on my FRST, using 15mm on the back so had to use transit studs there just over 10mm longer!! But like charlie luciano said use decent spacers otherwise all the weight is on your four studs!!

 

any ideas where to get longer studs from?

 

i just got a set from speed shack last week that are about 10 mm longer

 

Got mine from ford!

 

Nowt wrong with them, especially if you use the ones that have replacment studs, ive seen competition cars running stacked spacers giving 60mm extra spacing etc.

Im running 20mm's on my GTR and either 20 or 30s on the SX, depending on the rims...

 

If you get a proper "hubcentric" kit they come with the longer studs..... failing that I got 15mm longer studs from Burton Power for £1 each + VAT

 

ive run them for years and had no probs, the only time you will have probs and snap the studs is if they come loose, will snap all studs in no time !

 

What I am using....
