I've searched high and low and cannot find an answer to this question. I only need max 3/16" (~5mm) to clear my brakes to use these bogart drag rims/tires. Anyone know if I get a 5mm spacer that if it would require me to get extended lugs? How about a 3MM?

TIA

3mm will be fine and you should be ok with 5mm also. What kind of vehicle is it?

 

88 Honda Prelude...

 

I've always heard 5mm was as big as you should go, without using extended lugs.

 

It's not based on mm. It's based on how many turns of the lug nuts. You should have an absolute minimum of six full turns on the lug nuts, although seven is even better.

 

I broke a wheel stud w/ a 5 mm spacer. I don't recommend more than 3 mm w/ factory studs.

 

i got the same problem ..................but sorry to jack but where can i get 3mm spacers from tire shops? wheels shops? maybe

Nope. You can sometimes find them at auto parts stores. Otherwise, you can get them shipped from places like R&S Racing.
