Wheel Spacers
Hey guys i searched and came up with nothing. Right now im running 225/50/16 toyo's for autox and i just bought 5mm wheel spacers and was wondering if i need longer studs and if i do then how long do they need to be.
Thanks
Marc

You might need something to hold it on better. Instead of getting new studs they have these weird lug nuts that are called ET lug nuts I believe. They are like normal but have a long skinny part at the end so it can screw down through the hole in the rim. That way the grab on to more threads besides what is sticking out of the wheel.
You can probly find them at a local tire shop that's where I got mine from.

I think my spacers are 5mm also...I don't NEED extended studs but....I would recommend it for drifting. My lugs don't thread on very deep. I like the ET lug idea that a_drift suggested, I'll be looking into that.

Its very simple to see if you need spacers:
If you can not get 6 full turns on a lug nut, then you need spacers. 6 Full turns...not 5 and 3/4, not 5 1/2 turns, but at least 6 full turns.
Anything less than 6 full turns and there is not sufficent thread to lock the nut on when the nut is tight.
