Are there 5mm spacers made that are hubcentric? My main question is ... in using 5mm spacers, what is required to use them? Do they just slip on and you mount up the wheels or do you need to get longer studs etc??

Thanks guys.

I would not recommend it but I have seen people run generic 5mm spacers without getting longer studs. You would lose just over 3 full turns on your lug nuts. I do believe you can get 5mm hubcentric spacers with extended studs but they won't be cheap or easy to install.

I would get longer lugs with a spacer. I am thinking that with a 5mm spacer the wheel will still be hub centric.

Jim@tirerack

I checked and there is not enough hub to still have the wheel hub centric.

So how do 5mm spacers work then if they aren't hubcentric? Would it not be a pain in the arse to install these trying to fit the wheel properly?

H & R makes a set that are hubcentric and include extended studs:

Keep in mind the front and rear hubs are different sizes. If you used a generic spacer then you would be using the wheel studs to center the wheel, it wouldn't rest on the hub at all.

So part # 1065700 is the correct one for both front and rear?

So they come with extended studs - I would just need to go to a tire shop and get the studs pressed in? What about the stock studs? Will the back of the wheel not hit them?

No, you need part number 1065640 for the rear. The extended studs are installed in place of stock studs. You have to remove the hub to press in the new studs. Anytime the hub is pressed out you should replace the wheel bearing also. You are looking at hundreds of dollars, not worth it IMO unless you absolutely need a spacer for caliper clearance.

your right. definitely not worth it. Thanks for the help bud!
