Word of caution new studs settle, I would recommend re-torquing the lug nuts after about 100miles of driving. what are you torquing the lugs to? And why are you deciding to run .25 spacers?

Have you tried measuring the bore with a ruler to find out the diameter?
always check muh wheel lug torque regardless
now I'll just feel smarter doing that    ;)

I purchased these wheels with the intent on rolling 285's
but ended up purchasing 295's instead.
being that the 295 is a little wider ( 'bout .25" )
the tires rub the frame a bit too much at full steer. lock.
Thought the spacers might help with the frame/tire clearance
bandaide I know...  but it'll be fine

3.75" backspaced wheels would be great
but I can't see paying the cost of new wheels for .25"
especially when these don't even have any rash on 'dem yet   ???  :thumbdown:

so I chose to try this out and see how it goes   :greengrin:

had someone local, lathe the center bore out for $20.
they fit good...  stronger then the universal cast spacers.
Slightly thicker too... billet = 6.2 mm Vs. cast = 5 mm

goofed slightly, as the bore's were machined out to 108 mm ( rotor ID )
but I think it should've been 106 mm.    :hammerhead: 







also painted the stud's thread tips ( outboard of the lug nut )
just thought it might look cleaner this way...
^ less corrosion maybe too

here's those...







For Sale:  4 ea universal 5mm wheel spacers (cast)
$ 20. shipped - L 48    :biggthumpup:
