Wheel Spacers....(ITR Wheels)

[Vila]

Okay, I just found out I'ma need some wheel spacers, cause it won't clear my brake calipers. I'm rocking some ITR wheels, what size spacer do I need to clear my caliper? And will I need some for the rears also?

5mm front. Nothing for the rear.

did you run a 10mm without extended studs?

or a bolt on 10mm

I wouldn't run any spacers on stock wheel studs. Here's why: Mike (greencb7inkc) had 5mm spacers with ITRs on his car with OEM open ended lug nuts, and because of the 5mm spacer, the lug nuts didn't have enough threads to bite onto and they started stripping themselves out as he was driving on the way back from Chicago with us last summer. He had violent wheel vibrations, so we pulled over and diagnosed the issue. If he had driven much longer the wheel may have flown off on the highway.

No shit. NOt only was that shit scary but sucked ass.

I got 1/4" spacers(6.3mm) on the front. I still would NOT recommend doing so with stock studs. You could do it, but i wouldnt recommend going very fast or very far with that setup.

ARP studs are $60. There's no excuse.

I can't afford to buy extended studs right now, so I'm gonna have to run spacers on my stock studs. But what's the cheapest/decent set of studs ya'll would recommend?

Or just shave/cut the part of the front calipers that touch the wheel spokes.

= Free.

will that not damage the caliper by any means to where it malfunctions anything?

yea, but these are the only wheels I have atm, I traded my 10th anniversary wheels for these, with the intention they would fit perfect over my stock calipers, when I just found out they don't.
