You have to take off the calibur/brake to put on the new longer studs, right? I'm thinking about getting 5mm ones.

Yeah I think your better safe than sorry if you go ahead & get longer studs. I'm thinking about getting some too to clear BBK.

Could you let me know where you got your spacers? And what type it is? They seem to have DR, DRS, DRA, DRM. Thanks much

I need 8mm spacer, and i am looking for hubcentric spacer. Do i have to cut the OEM studs? (looking at the picture above, 1 inch spacer can have tapered hole that just enough for the bolt to be there) .

how about spacer less than 1 inch? I may be need to replace the OEM studs with elonggated studs? then what part #?

25mm h&r spacers comes with the studs installed from the factory. any other will be just a spacer and the mfg supplies longer studs which you will have to replace your stock with the longer.

kics spacers comes with the same design as the 25mm h&r spacers but they offer them in 10mm, 15mm, 25mm and 30mm. the beauty of these system is you don't have to press out your oem studs.

anything wider than 5mm, i would replace the stock studs for longer ones.

can you just use a 5mm spacer. you would be safe with the stock oem studs. i know h&r and other mfg makes hub centric spacers.

i may have a set of 5mm hubcentric spacers from ichiba for sale soon. they even have longer studs which i did not install because i felt i didn't have to.
