is a 5mill spacer going to be safe on stock studs
i think it will but just want to make sure
and wheres a good place to buy them for cheap AE?

 

yeah, from everything i heard a 5mil should be fine. Some say 5 mil is max on stock studs... others say 7 or 10... 5 is just fine as far as i know. i don't have any experience with it, just from what I've heard. hope this helps,

Having never tried spacers, and not having stock studs, I'll just say that the general rule for "safe" is to have as many millimeters of threads engaged as the stud is wide. That is, for a 12x1.25mm Nissan stud, you want 12mm worth of threads engaged by the nut. In this case, that's 10 full turns.

If I don't see you at QSL, I'll just assume that your wheels fell off!

 

lol

thanks for the help

 

you can get the spacers at any parts store steve.
