Default Black Wilwood behind Bronze Volk

Finally got the install done. I love the kit, and the quality is A++. Now for the bonus: Do I need longer wheel studs? I have 5mm spacers to get my wheels to clear. Pics are below, tell me what you think.

I think you may use the current lugs with the 5mm spacer, but not 100% sure.

I've been doing a lot of reading on this the past few weeks (since I have CE28n's myself) and it appears to be that 5mm is the maximum you'd want to run without using longer wheel studs.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have the Wilwood kit as well? Anyone else with knowledge on this?

Here is the thread with info on running spacers... although I'm sure it's the same thread you originally purchased them from. I think page 2 or 3 has a lot of info

Man, Crockey, that looks pretty sweet. I couldn't tell you whether or not you need longer studs, but what would be the downside of getting them anyway? My logic would be better safe than sorry!

Drive on them for a little bit and post some impressions. I've never heard anybody's reactions to the performance aspect of a BBK. Sure they loook good behind the wheels, but do they make you stop faster? Feel? Fade? Balance in corners?

Its just a hassle to get longer wheels studs, and I am not sure what the cost is.
