Before I plunk down a bunch of cash to buy new studs, is 110mm what I should be buying?
I'll be running 2" spacers up front (17X7.5) and 1" in the rear (17X9) I have what would be considered "adapters" right now, but plan on knocking those studs out and running them straight through. |

2" spacers in the front will mess up your scrub radius and make the steering feel wonky. Go with a 1" in front.

You wont need more than 100mm. Last I knew Automotion sells them for 60$ for 10.

I called Automotion and they wouldn't budge on the shipping...so I searched elsewhere.
Found the same studs for about $40 less...and shipping was only $12. paragon-products.com $95 later...I've got 20 100mm studs headed my way. |

QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ Jan 7 2014, 07:17 AM)  2" spacers in the front will mess up your scrub radius and make the steering feel wonky. Go with a 1" in front. I'm confused. .not the first time. Question, why would the factory install spacers then? Or were they only on the rear of the car? |

Forgot about Paragon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
They were 39$ at Automotion for the longest time...inflation. |
