ok so im rockin 16x8+10. i bought some 15mm bolt on spacers to let them sit nice. the stock studs prevent da rimz from fittin on, so im thinkin of shortening the studs. is this a good idea? anyone had similar problemz??? need suggestions

I just bought 15mill spacers, and have the same problem.. Searched around a bit, and seems like you can either
A. Buy extended studs and get a slip on spacer
B. Cut your stock studs.

I think im gonna just cut my stock studs
People said to put your lug nut on first, then cut it, then take the nut off so youll be able to put the nut on (cutting it might mess up the threads)

you dont have a spacer, you have whats called a wheel adapter.

if i were you, buy a quality hub-centric spacer from fred goeske (www.wheeladapter.com) and ditch the adaptors, just install longer wheel studs.

ide avoid using a wheel adapter unless you need some SERIOUS space. and dont buy cheap shit, fred makes top dollar parts that are machined out of high quality metal.

get some spacers that require changing out the studs, rather then these bolt on kind.
They are more of a pita to install, but you won't have this problem.

I think Ichiba sells both now (v1 and V2)

Quote:

ICHIBA Version II 15mm-25mm

ICHIBA Version I 5mm-20mm

The V1 are the kind you should get.
(Don't mind the lug pattern in the pic.)

If you value your car, hubcentric.

If not, cardboard spacers.

H&R or Eibach Hubcentric spacers FTW! I wouldn't gamble on anything that my safety rides on.
