hey guys i have a quick question about spacers and how do they work? i no for 25mm spacers the spacers cover the orginal studs and it flattens up so u can put ur wheel on but what about the rest? like 10mm or 15mm how would u be able to put ur wheel on with the orginal studs sticking out? and ur wheels dont have the extra holes for it to go thro -.-" im confused how would the rim sit flat on the spacer? O.o the wheel only have 5 holes

for example http://a.imagehost.org/0624/15MM-Studs.jpg

Any time you add 10+mm spacers, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (on my end, IT'S A MUST) you replace with longer studs - for safety reasons. Plus, if you don't replace your studs, you will not be able to secure your wheels anyway.

Now with 5mm spacers, use your best discretion. I personally suggest you get longer studs with 5mm spacers as well, but others has claimed you can get away without using longer studs.

I would suggest you get extended studs as well for 5mm.

Either get extended studs or shave/cut ur old ones.

in addition to the 5 holes, there should be spaces between the lugs too and the stock lugs sticking out pass the spacer will fit there.

I think he was asking how will the wheel fit flush with the spacer when the old studs are also sticking out trough it.

Ok here is how it works as far as i know. There are 2 different types of spacers. Lets take Ichiba for example. They have a version 1, which comes with extended studs, you take out your old studs, pop the new ones in and youre good to go. This is the type i prefer, i dont know it just seems safer to me. Then there is version 2 which come with extended studs. Basically they have holes for your old studs to go through and then they have their own studs built into the spacer itself. The problem you may encounter with those is the original studs might stick too far out as it was in my case, and even tho i had extra holes on my wheels, they werent deep or wide enough so i would've had to do major shaving/cutting of my original studs in order to get it to fit. Thats another reason i just went with the version 1. Hope that helps.

Here is a link with some pictures to help clear it up for you.
