Default Wheel spacer question!

H&R Offers a 5mm spacer kit. I want to run spacers so my wheels and tires stick out so they are flush with the front and rear fenders. Has anyone else done this? Where is a good place to get extended wheel studs? And if anyone has done this could I see a few pics of cars with spacer and or extended studs installed? Tried search but found nothing.

if you get the 15mm spacer it comes with everything you need.

from measurements i've taken, for the tire to be flush with the fender you need about 12-15mm spacer up front. and 10-12mm spacer out back.

why spacer front? this would only cause rubbing and problems turning uphill(due to caster) space the rear w/ something larger than 15mm and u wont need extended studs.. cause H&R and kics have studs integrated

actually the h&r 15mm ones come with extended studs. you press in the new studs, slip the spacer and put the wheel on with the oem lugs.

the 25mm spacer doesnt need anything. it slips over your stock studs, bolts on using included low profile lugs, then the wheel goes on like normal.

i would space everything out only because i like it to look uniform.

this is mine with H&R 25mm DRM type spacers without the need of replacing new studs.





very very minor running rubbing at the back with low ride height/r compound tires. Rubbing can be easily avoid by adding 0.5-1 degree of camber at the back.
