Well a typical spacer would show a little bit between the spokes, but otherwise I don't understand what the issue is...? Are you trying to locate a spacer that fits that wheel exactly? That's gonna be tough. |

race-stang you the man  thats a good point spray the spacers with primer then flat black. and also to cut the ends down on the studs. but i did alot more research and thats what i found out is to cut the end of the stud so that it will be flush with the spacer. i am really surprised that a rep from a.m did not recommend doing that when i told him the problem i had with these rims. is it a problem in the future to change out the studs if i decide to go without the wheel spacer after i cut them? |

Regarding changing the studs...it would depend on the type of spacer. Some have integrated studs for which I have no experience. What I have used is Maximum Motorsports spacers and ARP wheel studs to make my American Racing Torq Thrust II rims fit over my Cobra brake calipers on my 2002 GT...it was a bit of overkill, but I didn't want to worry about anything breaking, especially at speed! I had to cut the studs down to fit the acorn style lugs...no biggie with an angle grinder...but of course, use the ol' "measure twice, cut once" mentality. The ARP (or Moroso are decent too and a lot cheaper) are press in just like the OEMs. Any tire shop can swap out the studs for a nominal charge...I think I paid $40 to swap out all 10 front studs.
Best of Luck!

You want at least 6 threads to be safe...
I'm sure the pink stud meant something going down the assembly line, but it means nothing to you - disregard and cut away. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
