hey guys sorry for the nub question but just wanted to ask the people with spacers if they needed extended lugs..i have volk te37s 34 offset and i wanted to put a 5mm spacer in the rear
currently using purple t1r lugs
thanks

 

Depends on the spacers - H&R spacers come with new studs that you have to use. Kics have the new studs built onto them, but I think that's only for 10mm or higher spacers. I'm not sure if you'll need them with 5mm spacers since I don't know how the stock lugs look with your wheels. This probably didn't help at all. lol

 

Ichiba only has 15mm spacers with studs build into them

 

at 5 mm spacer size doubt you'll need extended lugs....

 

Yeah, you don't need extended with 5mm.

 

definitely don't need extended studs for a 5mm slip on spacer...anything above 10mm, you should either buy extended studs, or find spacers with built-in studs.

 

I once thought the same, however I disagree...

Though my only first hand experience with 5mm "slip on" spacers was on a different vehicle (MR-S) it was the most irresponsible/dangerous thing I've ever done to any of my cars...

Went to rotate the wheels one day before a nice mountain cruise and 2 studs on two different wheels twisted off inside the lug nut with VERY LITTLE effort... (the nuts were always properly torqued)

Could have been a disaster on that spirited mountain cruise...

Just my 2 cents...
