i have heard a lot of people saying wheel spacers are hard on the lug studs... but does this style hurt your studs as well?

i want to put in spacers on my car, but i don't want my wheel falling off, obviously.... but i dont see a problem with that design. It seems to me like your stock lugs will have a bolt on them just like before and be secured to the spacer, and the wheel will be secured to the spacer.

Would this be a reliable design to use? Thanks

Why do you wanna run spacers?

I run longer studs on mine and 1/4 inch spacers but thats it and I did it for inner fenderwell clearance

Inner fender clearance and i love the look.

are those a good alternative to the longer studs and spacers? I dont want to have to replace my studs because the good APR ones are $8 per stud so that ends up being almost $100 just for 10 studs shipped, and tahts before the spacers.

get wheels with the correct backspacing?

of course

i would definatly get the longer studs to go with those spacers. it may run some extra cash but its going to be the only right way of spacing them properly.

I run a 1/4 spacer out back and 7/16 on the front when I use the pro-star's

Exactly!

You can't. Those spacers are made to work w/ the factory studs. They can't stick out past the spacer otherwise you won't be able to mount the wheel flush.

Why is that?




I like in the video showing how to install the spacers they tell you they are using factory style wheels and tires but posted above the video is this...
Note: These Wheel Spacers are specifically made for aftermarket wheels and will NOT fit factory wheels.

Nice contradiction on their part.
