Spacer Question

gurneyeagle · 02-14-2012, 07:13 PM

I've got 20mm H&R DRS spacers in the rear. Now that I have Nismo rims, I would like to switch to 15mm in the rear.

Here's the question - if I do switch to 15mm spacers from 20mm spacers, do I need to change the studs or is there enough "cushion" in the lugs to secure the rims?

Bump. I'd like to know this also.

not enough in the stock lugs, I tried a while back.
best bet is to get open ended lugs.

I had 15mm up front and removed the spacers to troubleshoot a vibration prob. The stock nuts tightened up on the extended lugs. You should be fine. IMO, and yes the spacers were the cause of the vibration.
