5mm Spacers all round?
Hi all
Ask per title how many of you are using 5mm wheel spacers on their cars?
My set up is 4pots on the front with 11 spokes and standard calipers at the rear!
I'm interested in spacing out the wheels to increase track width, with a degree of asthetic pleasure too
It's been mentioned on here to change over the wheel studs to longer versions to accommodate the extra 5mm in to the nuts. My question is how many of you have done this and what parts/source etc did you use? Or are the std.parts sufficient to do the job?
Thanks in advance

How about these studs for coping with a 15mm hub centric spacers? They have the same dimensions as standard other than they are 63mm instead of the standard 47mm long!
Anyone else used these studs or can you point me in the right direction for replacements to allow for the extra added 15mm spacer? Cheers all.

If all dimensions bar the length are identical, then these should be worth the punt

PS you may need to think about rolling the wheel arches or increasing the negative rear wheel camber to clear the wheel arch on full suspension compression

Might reduce the rears Rob by 5mm and make it 10mm as the cars in for paint soon and along with being on eibach lowering springs the idea of rolling arches and rubbing because they're too wide has got me thinking!!
