Will a wheel spacer prevent a tire from rubbing on the fender well?

Glad to see Elliot right for once; that means - - - - JRust is definitely wrong on this one. Fact: JRust is always wrong which means Elliot is always right!!

Just be sure your lugs or lug nuts are long enough and safe to run spacers

Example : studs are 14mm thread you must have 14mm of thread protruding to hold the nut,however.....for alloy nuts a like a little more.
You would most likely get away with a shim spacer (6-8mm) unless you have really fat tyres,from memory anything up to 10mm will be ok without the need for longer studs,cheers. |

The rule of thumb I was taught:
For steel nuts & studs you want a nut to stud engagement equal to the diameter of the stud. So for a 14mm diameter stud you want a nut the threads on 14mm or almost 10 turns of the nut (1.5mm thread pitch). For Aluminum nuts on steel studs you want a nut to stud engagement equal to 1.5 times the diameter of the stud. So for a 14mm diameter stud you want a nut the threads on 21mm or 14 full turns of the nut. Jim |
