Wheel Spacers Or Longer Studs?

Featured Replies

If you are concerned about the length of the studs - have a look around for longer ones. I had the same issue with an Escort with Mags - and found that Misubishi Sigma studs were an exact swap - but longer.

In fact - they could be the same as the Falcon ones (I swapped 15 inch wheels between the Escort and EB Falcon) - problem is you need a Falcon stud to wander into shops with to compare.

Lots of cars had spacers standard (Mini Coopers as an example), they are not dangerous as long as the spacer is located by the studs.

Thanks for the replies guys..I eneded up using an 8mm spacer on the fronts only and they 'just' clear the brakes...I checked the thread available and there did appear to be approximately an equal amount of length to diameter as per hideous's post. Needles to say, I will be keeping a very close eye on them indeed just to make sure.

The car looks absolutely hot now. I will take some photos with the camera soon.

Cheers!

awesome wheels - and in general great looking car. Not sure about the grey bit on the bumper perosnally though - maybe better back in body colour or black.

Thanks..I know about the grey (gay) bumper bits...I purchased the kit already painted and was under the impression that te silver bits were a charcoal colour...I don't mind it now..
