Default Spacers ?

Probably a stupid question but I was wondering if you could use a small spacer with oem wheel studs . Like if you do a 5-10 mm would you still need to do longer studs ? . I wanna bring the rear wheels out more and fronts a tad bit . Just new at this ..

Thanks

5 is the absolue biggest.
10 would be to much..

If you can get 6-7 turns on the lugnuts, your ok....

I have 3mm on my car.

How large?

Extended studs would be required.

You could do a TL wheel stud, they are longer than the stock studs.

I was either gonna keep oem wheels and add spacers to the hx's . Or just get another set of wheels . I wana get the back wheels pushed out more . Just looks to tucked in .

I know how you feel, mine are the same way. I need spacers just for the rear to clear the trailing arms.

there are spacers with build in studs, however they tend to be 10-15mm+ in size, and are kind of expensive.

Oh ok.

If you have some washers or something. You can cut it out to fit the hub, put it on, and then put the wheel over it. Measure and would give you an idea of how large you will need to get it where you would like it.

I just thought of that now lol.
