is500 wheel stud swap with spacers installed.
This took about 45 minutes. It was actually really easy. wheels look way better with them being pushed out the 15 and 20 mm

Good work! 👍
Do you plan on doing PPF as well? That bit of tire sticking out will surely fling stuff down the side of the car.

I actually have it on the front hood, fenders, bumper and mirrors, but might have to add it to the rear bumper too... I dont thing it sticks out to much, maybe just a little by the lower side of the bumper

OCJACKALL - I am not usually a big fan of wheels being pushed out and such but this looks subtle but enough to make it look a bit more mean - Not sure I like the new lug bolts but could just be the angle of the pic.
Speaking of being mean, you shouldn't give your toes an atomic wedgy!! That looks painful and nasty (lol)

[img]images/icons/icon10.gif[/img]BAHAHAHA, Man, why you gotta do me that like! LOL!! I ran out to take a pic and those sandals were at the door so i went with it! I meant to crop my foot out cause I thought something like this could happen [img]images/icons/icon7.gif[/img] I definitely prefer the look with the spacers, especially once I lower it. I am still trying to decide which springs to go with. I want to hear what peeps think about the Swift springs on an actual IS500....

this is what I bought. I got them from https://motorsporthardware.com/contact-us/
If I was to do it again, I might get 10 of the studs in 82mm or so, I get a full 7 turns on the ones I have, but wish there was a a couple of threads of the stud sticking all the way out of the lug nuts like the front is

What wheel spacer from H&R did you use? I can't find a single 60.1 center bore spacer with 14x1.5 threads. Only 12 x1.5. Thanks

When I had my RC, I was begging to be able to have wheel bolts instead of studs, since I tracked the car, studs were a wear item. Here everyone is converting back to studs!
I see how much less convenient wheel bolts are, but man the pressed in studs that the older knuckles used suck to change out. Requires pulling the rear hubs off. I guess these would be a lot easier to change.

According to my research, the THREAD length of the OEM bolts is 27mm. Idk the overall length.
