Spacers?

Hey guys and gals,

Just a quick question for anyone who has had experience with 5mm spacers. I want to run 5mm spacers F&R to push my wheels out a bit. I was wondering if it was OK to run the 5mm spacers with the stock studs with Rays aluminum lug nuts? Just want to make sure before I pay someone to have the studs installed. Thanks

its for my x, running 18x9.5 +34, the car is lowered on coils. its more to push the wheels out a bit. i know a lot of the x guys run 18x9.5 +22 no problems, just wondered if anyone used 5mm spacers on stock studs with aluminum lug nuts

If you can get 6-8 full turns on the lug nuts it will *probably* be OK. Steel lugs will be stronger, though, since you will have less thread engagement than stock . . .
