I just ordered the 5mm H&R wheel spacers for the rear. I am running 225/45 Ecsta V700 during autocross and they only the rub LCA's on hard turns. I don't have the spacers yet, but have the following questions:

1) They come with longer studs (I don't know how much longer). Do I need to use the longer studs? If, so is it really a pain to install the longer studs?

2) For only 5mm, would I run into fender problems and have to roll the fender? (Which I think is actually illegal in stock class anyway.)

3) Our stock lug nuts are capped. Can I use the stock lug nuts and the stock Acura wheel lock with the longer studs?

Thanks

 

1&3) for 5mm you wont need longer studs.

2) rolling the fender i doubt it at stock height. but under hard corners, maybe.

 

THANKS !!

 

David,
if you run spacers in the rear, you would notice that the car would plow more than you've used to.

To answer your questions, 5mm spacers aren't too bad so you might be able to get away without using longer wheel studs.
I'm running 4mm spacer in the back with 205 tires and have no rubbing problem; although it may be due to the negative camber I have in the rear (top of tires more "tuck" inside the fender).

 

If you rub a little now on hard turns you will probley rub even with only 5mm. Probley won't be that big of a problem though if any.
