Yeah I'm wondering the exact same. I'm completely stock adding 1" spacers all the way around. Think I'll be fine and I don't track the car or anything, but also don't want rubbing over speedbumps... I'll never hear the end of it from my wife ;)
heh heh heh.. i hear ya.. well i plan to put the rear spacers on for now.. if i don't see an issue then i will place the front ones also.. please check to see if you get any rubbing when turning the vehicle up front..
only time i ever had to consider cutting the studs was for mustangs with the magniride.. those studs are longer than the ones that come without it.. has anyone on here without the magniride needed to make further modifications??
based on what i have read here, it seems that maybe the 1 inch (25mm) is the way to go to be on the safe side.. biggest concern with going bigger which would be much nice cause of the wider stance, is the fact that when you hit a bump, the rear doesnt rub the tire against the frame of the vehicle..
You didn't have to cut wheel studs down (non-Magneride) with stock wheels for the 20mm spacer? I assumed you needed minimum 25mm/1" spacer to not have to modify stock wheel studs, but would be good to know if they work with 20mm spacers too without cutting on stock wheels.
Good to know. Guess that small gap/recess in the stock wheels behind works for the stock studs. Cause they stuck out further than what I thought they would on the 1" spacers.
The reason they wont work with magnaride is due to the studs being longer than the normal ones..
I haven't seen a modern wheel apart but it used to be that the studs were pressure fitted. If somebody damaged one by cross threading or a nut rusted on so bad you had to damage the stud to get the wheel off, you would drive the bad stud out and replace it. Really confused somebody when you had a side with left hand threads and somebody replaced one stud with a right hand one. In any case, if they are still pressure fitted, perhaps somebody could supply studs of the required length.
