hey guys, i got some SSR wheels and i had to get spacers to make them fit. the front is on with no problem but the rear is touching the suspension even with the 5 mm spacer. the wheels are 18x8, and the shop told me i needed to get longer studs and make it safe. they also told me i needed to think about getting the same thing done to the front. i wouldnt think the front needed any modification... any ideas or insight??

Im using a 15 mm H&R spacer in the rear since I was having the same issues, my wheels are 19x8.5, Im also running negative camber so no rubbing here.

I am not using them in the front but you can if you wish to.

Longer studs are included with the spacers. I got them from horsepowerfreaks.com, and they got here quick!

Its about 110 for the spacers, which is a set of 2, and you wanna do the front also, so that is about 220.

The labor is easy but 80 bucks more if they do it is not bad.


Also to determine what size you are going with grab a ruler and measure the distance from the tire to the fender, and how much you actually need from the center bore to the wheel.

PM me your number if you need help.

Good luck
