Tire swap with stud replacement spacers

Arrvaxx · 10-15-2013, 02:21 PM

I put on H&R Trak+ DRS (stud replacement) spacers: 20mm rear/15mm front. For the track I want different wheels which also have different offsets. It appears that I will be removing the spacers (keeping the studs)...are there extra deep lugs that I should use? I'm afraid that I won't be able to tighten the stock lugs with 20mm of spacers removed.

Thoughts?

Open-ended lugs?

Arrvaxx · 10-15-2013, 02:24 PM

There are such things? Ok...I'll try to find some. Thanks.

Ohhh...and they are pretty too.

you can use open ended tapered lugs on aftermarket wheels.
were you able to find open ended lugs with built-in washers for hubcentric wheels?

if not, you cant use tapered lugs on your stock wheels.

I have extended studs without spacers (for extra safety at the track) and use open ended lugs. there are many types, make sure you get a decent type, if you go cheap, do steel instead of aluminum as cheap aluminum lugs tend to warp easily

Also if youre getting aftermarket wheels for the track, youd need different lugs anyways
