XXR/ wheel spacers probelm! HELP

ryan3994 · 12-11-2012, 08:11 AM

I figured out the problem... I did remove that random stud on the rotor.. but what happened was the actual studs from my car are sticking out of the spacers just a little.. and the xxr's I have don’t have those little cut outs on the backs of the wheel to accommodate the studs sticking out. So the stud were stopping the wheels from being flush with the spacer. What I’m going to do is just take off the spacers all together because my tires are rubbing on the fender due to the poke anyways, and this way I don’t have to raise the car or add -camber.. Thanks for the input though!!

What size spacer? 15mm? You need a 20mm+ spacer to use those on aftermarket wheels unless you trim the studs down to fit flush and flat. Or use the slide on spacers with extended studs
