Question about Spacers
I have some 1/4" inch spacers(I think 10mm) that I would like to put on to make my car a little more flush. Question is, Can I safely run these spacers on stock studs? Also the spacers are type that just slides on to the studs and no extended studs. Thanks for the help Fam!

I've always been told that if you're going to run spacers make sure they have extended studs..

Anything over 5mm on stuck stud is dangerous. Even on 5mm it still dangerous. I think you need like 7 full turns to be okay.

You'll have to use extended studs for safety. You won't have enough threads to lock the lug nuts.

ARP makes good studs. Also, many of these spacer companies carries extended studs.
