Is they anything I can do, to make them fit cos I wont be changing my rims that's for sure Cheers Charlie

21/08/08 02:05 AM21/08/08 02:05 AM #3 5mm is alot.I'm guessing that the inner spokes are hitting on the calipers. The best way to fix this is new wheels but a spacer may be able to be fitted to the hub before the wheel is put on. I don't believe they are legal but if you have enough stud length and get good enough amount of threads on with the nuts it should be ok. Be careful doing this though.

21/08/08 02:14 AM21/08/08 02:14 AM #5 Nah there is NO WAY they will fit if it is 5mm plus how will longer wheel studs help???Maybe get a New Set of Custom Rims made up by Simmons to suit but you may need to go 20's???
