Spaced Out, What would you do? Options

[Shivers]

Hi guys: I'm working on my trailing arms. Won't be long till it is time to reassemble. I tried the search, gave up and decided to ask directly. I have new hubs, 5x130. My rear flares are GT flares that I am adding 2" in width to each one in the rear. I would really appreciate your opinions on spacers. I need to get lugs on these hubs before I install them. Which spacer in your experience is safer. Long lugs or short lugs bolted to the spacer.
Gentleman, what say you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I borrowed the base picture then added my junk to it. Carving, some autocross and I hope a track day now and then. Thanks

The one thing that has really bugged me is that 914's do not have concentric wheel locators. I've worked on many old Italian and German sports/race cars, and they all had wheel locators, and if you also purchased proper spacers from the better vendors, these too had the locators.

So, I hope your rear hubs have them and, in that case, I wouldn't worry about which method you use to bolt the wheels on. If your hubs do not have the locators, I would choose the double short bolt or stud method. The spacers will be CNC'd so they will be spot on. It's the long stud alignment that I would be concerned with.
