Wheel spacer question
#5
strike up the paean
5mm is nothing
before you redo twenty wheel studs get an open ended lug nut and check to see if the nut is fully screwed onto the stud. if yes, you're good to go.
very few, and if they do it will probably be on the thicker spacers...certainly not a 5mm spacer.

I don't Know if this Helps,but the Other day,the subject of Wheel Spacers came up.If the Spacer will allow you to Put the Wheel nut on SIX turns,it is Deemed "safe".Now.before I get Bombarded by Criticism,"safe" in What perspective,I don't really Know.(as in for Racing or just everyday Street action.).Frankly though,any Wheel nut that is on my car and goes Six Turns before tight,Is Enough for me...OH!,and yes!..,There are Two types of spacers.One that looks like a ,that just slips over the studs, between the wheel and the rotor,And the Second Version is one that Has holes For the Studs.you Tighten down the Spacer. The Spacer has "alternative studs" that you use for the Wheel.You then Place the wheel on those Studs and tighten it Down...Hope that helps.

I sure wouldnt try it without longer wheelstuds, theyre so easy to change in front on an FC and not that hard out back either and theyre not even that much money.

You don't need a press or anything, a hammer works just fine for getting the studs in and out, but it's a good idea to take the hubs off so that you're not potentially damaging the bearings.
