Wheel Spacer Fitment Issues

[barnoon]

Gday,

Due to my wheels having gay offset ive been trying to run some spacers to make them stick out a bit further, I tried some 25mm last week and while the spacers fitted fine it was slightly too big and hitting my guard (by about 3mm)

So I thought no biggie ill order some 20mm ones instead.

They came today and I tried to fit them and the issue im now having is that my original studs are sticking out through the spacer so I cant get my wheel back on because they are in the way. Is it possible to get shorter studs so they dont stick out past my spacer?

Ive attached a pic so everyone can see what im on about.

Thanks guys

hey bro i recently had the same problem but i got 25mm spacers and those studs were to long theres one solution grinder and cut off wheel i cut back my spacer studs with no worries just ran a die nut over the thread again to make sutr the threads were still good.

i know its not the same problem as urs cause urs are on the car therefore. i still say cut them down i had to grind off 2-3 threads on my studs as they were to long on the car. also my friend is a mechanic and he said its a fair bit of f#@king around to get shorter studs in there u have to take whole hub off.

happy grinding bro

you need to cut off the studs.

no point buying shorter ones. that is about $150 worth of studs. far better to cut the ones you have. then if in the future you want to run without the spacers then buy new studs when you need them. easy to buy at niceproducts.com.au

just cut them

Ok cheers guys I think I will just cut them then, I spoke to a tyre shop today and he said I should send my rims off to be milled (or grilled cant remember what it was called) where they make small cuts on the inside of the rim to clear the studs, he said that would be about $100 a rim so I think I will just cut my studs down.

Hey man do you have any before and after pics of how your wheels sit?

[Dragonforce]

Also what were your wheel sizes and offsets

Wheel spacers in NSW are illegal....

Wheel spacers in NSW are illegal....

So are..

excessively lowered cars,

tinted windows beyond 30%,

intercooler piping through a hole in the chassis,

unsecured pod filters,

dangling green scented trees from your rear view mirror,

Add it to the list.

So yeah mate, im sure he is well aware of that. And i bet you knew he was aware of it to. Maybe try not to sound like an asshole when you inform people of things in the future hey?

Or just trying to get your post count up?

Cheers
