I'm thinkin' 'bout getting some 12mm Ichiba V1 spacers for my rear wheels to sit flush, however, I am running on 16x6 OEM wheels. Will the extended studs, which are 50mm, be to long and pose a problem for the stock, close-ended lug nuts? I believe that the OEM studs are 36mm in length, so the addition of 12mm spacers with the 50mm studs should leave a 2mm difference.

I also heard that the rear studs are on the bearing assembly and that you should not try to beat them out with a hammer because of damage to the bearings or sensor. Is this true?

 

20mm spacer/adapter will sit flush on OEM wheels. imo
also i wouldnt go extend stud id just get a spacer/adapter

 

First, you need to be sure that the extra 14 mm of lug bolt length really extends that much more from the hub face. If it does then a 12 mm spacer should use as many threads as original. But you will shorten bearing life.


Second, true and you should use studpusher to remove rather than a hammering.

 

If you just go up 3mm to 15mm you can save a lot of hassle by using adaptors. These are adaptors.

 

Thanks for all of the advise everyone. Yeah, I think I'll spend a bit more and get 15mm adaptors.
