i have a 5mm spacer kit and i am using the extended studs they came with..but question is...can i throw on a 10mm spacer safely without changing the studs to accommodate the extra 5mm? pulled my fender a lil too much so now i need spacers to be flush again

would u want to risk it?
its like having stock studs with 5mm spacers all over again.
i'd rock it but i would be paranoid driving around

i guess ur right..i jus wanna kno if the lugs would tighten it enough to be safe..as im not sure how much longer the studs i have are compared to stock

My 10mm and 15mm spacers from Ichiba have the same length studs. So maybe you can. What LOLTHXkBYE said is right. If you get 7 turns it should be fine. Make sure the wheels are hubcentric or run hubcentric rings if you run a lot of camber because that stresses the studs if they're not.

^^how does it ride? any wobble or anything?

Rides fine until your studs break off.

I think if the 5mm spacer was hubcentric it wouldn't be as bad. But with Ichiba spacers, the 5mm spacer will be too much for the stock studs because there is no hub ring.

It's even worse when your car is low with that much camber. Just get extended studs.

okay..so ur saying i should go for the extended studs that come with the 10mm spacers?? cuz right now im using the extended studs that came with my 5mm set..im sure the 10mm studs would be the best thing..im jus too lazy to knock out the old ones and put in the new..jus wanna kno if it'll work fine without replacing the studs

chrispy

iTrader: (21)

Yeah. Well how much extra thread do you have on those extended studs? Subtract 5mm from it and see if it's enough. It depends on your wheels too.

ill check it out over the weekend..i think ima jus get teh spacers and studs anyway..jus wanna go the easy route..if it doesnt work..i guess ill have to swap studs

nah no wobbles. its 5mm ichiba's. they are hubcentric too.
but anyway, since u got the studs, just replace em.
like 15 min job per wheel.
