These.



Tried searching and only result is the wheel fitment guide and I'm not gonna go through each of those pages to not find a solid answer.

BTW, they the center bore is made for a Nissan: 66.1mm

No I believe the safest is up to 5mm slip on spacers without needing extended studs.

Any other input guys? These are cheap but I'll have to pass on them if I have to go out and buy extended studs.

Look for 15mm bolt on spacers and make sure your wheels have the indentations behind the hub so it will clear the factory studs.

No, no no! Don't try it or else your wheel will fall off and rip your fender/quarter panels off.

Have to be less than 5mm to be safe.

I had a friend of mine run a set of 10mm slip on spacers on his Z32 TT, he now owns a Honda fit due to the accident that the slip on spacers caused.

Throw those in the trash, or use them as paper weights.

Definitely not safe, either run extended studs or speak with Nigel at JDM Imports for
Ichiba V1 or V2 spacers.

Still putting more stress on the studs than what they are made for.

Only option I could see with these is taking them to a machine shop, having new holes drilled with lug seats to put on the stock studs and putting new studs, but for the cost, might as well buy a GOOD set of spacers.

Don't forget, he didn't even have the right size hubcentric fitment.


Can you say nightmare? !

If you are running hub-centric spacers with wheels that are hub-centric to the spacers (or properly ringed), then the only significant stress on the stud will be axial, and the length of the stud does not increase (or decrease) axial stress. However, since those are not hub-centric, then you are adding shear stress to any studs you use because you cannot center the wheel on a hub. So, as he stated, they are unsafe regardless.
