Was this +32 on an 18x8 with stock tires and suspension? I imagine that he might have problems if he lowered it.

 

I just changed out my front lugs with the H&R studs. I can't believe how easy it is! You don't even have to take the caliper or rotor off!

 

How did you get the stockers out? Did you just tap them with a hammer? I'm gonna do mine soon...

Here is the view from behind the knuckle showing the access hole to the lugs.

 

Just hammer the old lugs out with only as much force as is necesary.

 

Insert the new lug and lock it in place using a lug nut and an impact wrench until it is fully seated.

 

When you put your wheel back on, you should probably over-torque the lug nuts to make sure the lugs actually are fully seated, then loosen and torque them again to spec. After driving a few miles, check the torque on the lug nuts again.

 

BTW, I have no idea if the rear lugs will be as easy. I suspect that they WON'T.

 

Gernby!
How thick is your spacer in the front?
Nice write up. Thanks for the info.

 

Great pics and write-up! Why do you think the rears will be more difficult? If I had to guess I would think the fronts would be more complicated than the rears... Or do you think access to the rear of the lug is going to be an issue?

Javier

 

Thanks. I think the rears will be more difficult because of the CV joints.

BTW, my spacers are just 5 mm.

 

I am thinking 20mm for the rear and 15mm for the front?

What do you all think?

Oh and anyone know where can i get these H&R spacer the cheapest?

Thanks.

 

15mm is going to be too much for the fronts (unless you actually WANT the wheels protruding from the fender). Mine are 12mm front, and 17mm rear - if I were you I would go 10 and 15 (front and rear).

Javier

 

That will be too much for stock wheels and tires. The largest spacers I would try would be 15 rear and 10 front, especially if you ever plan to run wider tires up front.

 

Thanks! Then I will go with 10 and 15mm.
