Default anyone ever put 5mm to 10mm spacers on their SC

i got some 8mm spacers to try to fit the LS calipers on my car because my lovely rims do not clear them

after i got everything bolted up and the spacer on, there was barely any stud left to bolt my wheel on.

is the thickness of the rotors the same? 8mm is not that much. i could not even thread the lug nut on to start it.

anyone know where i can get some new studs that are slightly longer.

these brakes are becoming hell

IIRC you will need longer bolt studs for the LS calipers.

I'd search the Susp and Brakes section first.

I believe you can get longer studs used from aliga in the SC3/4 Classifieds.

wheel studs are pretty much the same across all years...

you are using a fairly thick spacer, which requires the use of extended studs... you can find long wheel studs many places...

I don't typically recommend them, but, again, it can be done...

I used 5mm spacers with my 4pot LS brakes with my 8.5"wide +35mm wheel. I had enough thread for lugs...
