Opinions on spacers

[Mikey]

I know, I know..."price to play". I just hate fighting that common sense feeling that tells me Im crazy for spending $200 on wheel spacers, lol.

My only concern is the factory studs. If I can install the V2s without having to cut or remove factory studs, then that's what I'll do. Cuz I dont want spacers on in the winter, lol .

Yeah.... that's the whole point of them. You leave the factory studs exactly as they are.


As long as your wheels have the cutouts in the back plate around the lug pattern (most do) you're all set..

What about rotations of the lugs? With 5.5mm(7/32") spacers, I got RIGHT AT 6 turns. OEM closed-ended lugs. Might be able to get JUST over 6 if I use an impact. Yay or nay?

You need to correctly torque them not just jam a impact gun. Get a torque wrench if you don't have a impact gun with a torque stick, I have about a just a little more than a 5mm and I can still get a couple good safe turns on it.

That's what I meant. If I use an impact and an 80ft-lbs torque stick, I could probably get another 1/2 turn or so.

Im just curious if 6 turns is enough.

Yeah it is.
