Will i need longer studs if i run a 5mm spacer?

what kind of offset & width you have on the wheels?

by **TRD MCV20L** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 8:52 am

Its a 19x8 with a +43 offset. The tires are 235/35/19

ask ICrazyChrisI about the spacers he bought... they are strong and will not crack.

5MM is a pretty huge spacer... spacers are recommended for offroad use only if over 2mm. Trust me... I've seen (pix) of a showcar that was coming back to LA from Vegas and his space cracked... the wheel was barely held onto the car.. luckily he pulled over in time! The last thing you want is to be in a showcar going 90+ mph with your left front wheel flying off lol

thats why I don't use spacers. I make sure when buying wheels the offset must be correct w/o any further modifications. thats just me though.

Its hard to find Volks with the correct offset for our cars.

Where can i find a 2 or 3 mm spacer?

ask mike, aka mole. He was running volks and using spacers, so im sure he can help w/that.

i just got my car back from the shop day before yesterday with new wheels. I got 19x9.5 in the rear with a 16mm spacer and 19x8.5 in the front with no spacer.

WTF??? pic's...i can only guess how much your tires are sticking out...

by **importtuner2oo4** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 1:25 pm

they dont stick out...i flared the car out in the rear to accomodate the wider wheels...

Ill post pics up on sunday...its my day off and the weather should be nice and sunny.

^^aww man..i gotta see it^^btw..what kind of wheels did you get?..i know that 19x9.5 fit, but I just haven't seen it done yet. i heard about the fender pushing out for the fit as well. im sure it looks tight, but you can't rotate tires...thats the down side to staggered wheels.
