I have a question about this spacers. I tried to put them on yesterday, but the old studs are hitting the wheel. I have the 10mm. would I need something to make it work? btw, I have a CE28N 18x9.5 +34.
here is a pic....


thanks in advance

 

I've always wondered about this.

 

I guess if the spacers is more thicker, I wouldn't have any problem mounting the rims.

 

mark, the only solution would be to give me your rims....lol

 

your wheels should have indents between the studs where the shorter ones would recess into
i have the 20mm ones and saw that same thing but not to that extreme
try it out unless there are no recesses on your rims
my enkeis have recesses so there was no issue there

 

CE28N's have a false second bolt pattern with small holes instead of recesses. I'm guessing his studs are too thick to fit in said holes.

 

Yes, it's to thick. I'm thinking about cutting the old studs.

 

I don't see why you can't do that but then again, it's up to you. Your obviously going to need it one day when you take off the wheels or anything.

If it's your only option and you like the wheels, just do it. I'm sure you have the money to get the oem stuff

were there any studs/threads left with the 20mm?

 

there was a bit of the studs sticking out
but it wasnt any issue once i bolted the wheels on

 

So you used these to effectively change bolt pattern and the offset of the wheels, yes? Are your CE28N's a Subaru or similar fitment?

 

not to change the bolt pattern, but to make it look more agressive and put more clearance between the brembo and rims.

 

I see. The spacers that I have seen that have studs on them like that have been used to change bolt pattern as well. My reccomendation would be to sell those, buy extended wheel studs and normal spacers. It'll be a much safer solution.
