Any easy way to do this? Can i attack it with a hex wrench and a wrench from the other side? i am just making sure that neither side is welded on (aka the hex part is welded to the face, or the bolt part is a permenant part of the disk)

are you sure theyre 3-piece wheels? you can only remove the faces of 3-piece wheels.

my question still remains unanswered

The ssr rims have tires with air in them, Is this why the bolts wont budge? If so can I just take say my tire pressure gauge, let all the air out, and then swap the faces?

Im running 17mm front and 12mm rear solid alum spacers that were machined by fred (wheelspacers.com), I use the longest nismo wheel studs and have had NO issues for the past few years now.. of course, hard driving and LA roads (downtown is no stranger). I think using a quality rim is more important than using or not using spacers. If you DO decide to use spacers, use good quality ones. If you dont feel like splurging on wheel studs, wheel adaptors may also be a better choice for some.. depends on how thick of a spacer you need to go.

Take your wheels to a wheel shop that specializes on working with multi-piece wheels.
