wheel Spacer question
 
when installing wheels spacers will i need to cut any lugs down to shorten them to fit 15 mm spacers?... is this wheel dependant?

Ure wheels should have the voids between the lug holes.

wheee! 05-24-2011 01:17 PM

Do you mean cut the studs...? Because I would see no reason to cut the lugs...and with a 15mm spacer I think you have to replace the studs for longer ones, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

You cut the studs right after you cut your springs.

Then, you finish it all up by spraypainting your car matte black in your driveway.

If you get the Type 1 spacers, then they will come with extended lugs you REPLACE the stock lugs with.

If you get they Type 2 spacers, they will come with NEW lugs attached and you bolt it on to the stock lugs.

There is no reason to ever cut your stock lugs.

For 15mm, look into bolt on spacer

but then again, why not just buy wheels that fit?

edub370 05-24-2011 05:13 PM

^^because im not made of money. plus the tsw nurburgrings look soooo sick on there.

thanks XwChriswX for the info.

and to Cheshirecat.. i would spraypaint my car in my driveway, but i think recent events have indicated that ur car will get beat/keyed to sh*t if you do so... plus im kinda partial to not spraypainting my f*ckin car lol.

Sry if the question seemed dumb, but i have seen a few different spacer styles and havent ever messed with them before. soooo i didnt kno

I have 20mm spacers and they where installed without issues. However I believe that some posts and instructions said that sometimes the back of the wheel has to be clearanced to fit.

edub370 05-24-2011 09:07 PM

Fire: what type of spacers are u running? i mean i see they are H&R, but are they bolt on? also, what do you mean the back of the wheel has to be clearanced to fit??

For the fronts, I would go with a Type 1 spacer for the rear Type 2. Its what I did it's what has been recommended over and over on here. No problems with mines no shaking nothing. Looks aggressive 20 front 25 rear.
