i was wondering how this worked
how to install them

the spacer goes into the studs and then the studs on the spacer and then the studs on the spacer are used for the wheel

the problem i see with this is that what happens if the stud on the hub is too long?
and sticks out of the spacer
is this common?
and what to do if this happens?

im planning on getting 15mm spacers
and im pretty sure my studs on my hubs are longer

well from what i know, u needa change ur studs to shorter ones, or get rims that have the extra set of holes e.g. 8 holes or 10 holes....

Hub centric (the one ur talking about) are much better over slip on spaces an much safer....

or go up to 25mm.

that should be the minimum to cover your stock lugs.

Some wheels have 8 holes allowing the extra studs to go thru it. ( And i dont mean the ones with 4x114.3 wih 4x100 )

well these dont

tryn to get my ssr wheels wiht offset of 50 on my r33 (which needs atleast 10-15mm off to clear the brakes)
same time dont want to muck around with the studs as i have other rims that fit perfect as it is

main question is, why are u wanting to use spacers? to clear the calipers, increase track width... or rim offset issue?

Iev seen few of the drifters use any where from 20-35mm spacers cause of there low offset wheels, which look awsum btw
