^that dosen't matter at all because the back of your wheels should have concave pockets where your old studs will face towards, if you install the right hubcentric spacers with bolts.

i'm running 9.5s all around with 25mm(1") spacers and they already came with studs. plug and play sheeit homie.

now, judging by your pics, i'm not sure if you need 25mm spacers though. prolly something like 15mm..which in that case..might be a different story.


btw: lower that rear MOAR!!! :P

yeah i know those pockets should be there but when i put my wheel on it wouldnt go all the way on. When i looked the other hole patterns were stopping me. Maybe I just missed something last time. On my galant it was just bolt on shiet. easy.

pic from when i put on the spacer. some of the wheel studs were replaced because one is shorter than the other four. That might be my problem.

damn son!!! 25mm spacers! negative effective offset? I bought 15mm spacer for the rear. that will be all i need. i already took measurements and it will bring my effective offset to 0. perfect.
Haha and dont worry the rear will be getting lowered more once i figure out the spacer situation i will lower it and get my alignment done.

Aight so got the effing Ginsu out! lmao



three cutting wheels later...



15mm spacer in the rear driver's side. flushed!







And where it stood before in the rear on the other side for a nice comparison.




So now effective offset in the rear is +0 and offset up front is +15. 9 inch wide wheel all around. 245/40/18 all around.

Now i just have to make some minor adjustments to the rear fenders and lower it I almost think i need a small spacer up front to stance it a little more....hmm...

Damn fluff from the towel got stuck on the k the l and the e


Mmmm after she got those "butt implants" I would beat haha





the rear of my car looks so high in these pictures but its really not lol! in other shots its perfectly balanced like how it really is...weird.

I have some goodies on the way...HKS Hi-Power Duals and an x-pipe!
Cant wait to hear her purrrr! planning on deleting the two resonators and put the x pipe in place of the middle cat then from there going 2.5 all the way back to the HKS. LOL maybe I should order some silencers for the mufflers while im at it? o_O
