Default Project Spoon Caliper! :)

some of you have pm'd me asking to post pics of the 10mm spacer slapped behind my ce28n 50+ front

well here it is:

before 10mm




and with 10mm spacer









I was wondering if someone makes a spacer (10mm) that cover the whole diameter of the rotor to wheel surfaces....i dont like to gap here (anyone?)




also who can recommend extended wheel studs that i can use my closed-end rays lug nuts with??


thanks for looking

Jay

I agree. Spacers are fine if you have the right stud lengths to go with them. The stock studs are too short for the wheel lugs to grab onto and could probably start stripping because of the lack threading that grab onto the lugs. This happened to my Ray lugs when I was running 5mm spacers for the rear.

H&R makes good quality hubcentric spacer and stud combos that work awesome. I personally would suggest H&R if you're going the spacer route. Good luck.
