Question Rota P45R Qustion?

I need some help with this , I just recieved my P45's from subydude and the question that i have is that on the fronts the wheels are 18x9.5 with +30 offset and a 8mm spacer to give caliper clearance and im not sure if the spline drive lugs they sent will be enough tread to grab onto, is the a extension or something?

You're definetly going to need extended studs. Try RRE.

I have the exact same wheels with the same offset and 8mm spacers and did not have to extend my lugs.

I still haven't rolled my fenders yet, but I need to. I'm waiting on the shop to order a new fender roller. They lost their other fender roller or forgot who they loaned it out to last.

Has anyone tried to see how many turns on the lug nuts (w/stock studs) your seeing with 8mm spacers on?

I heard 6-7 full turns on the threads is the minimum for safety.

I'm debating whether to get extended studs with my P45R's if using 8mm spacers.

i'm using a 5mm spacer and it fits fine (a bit close i admit) but they haven't rubed or touched the calipers

no extended studs for me

Well, If 8mm spacers ends up being too thick for the stock studs, I might try machining the spacers down to 6.5mm for more thread contact.
Hopefully I can at least get 6 full turns on the lug nuts.

Keep you posted when I receive my P45R wheels on order.
