NE HELP: Wheel Fitment Question
I just some some 18x10.5 wheels for the rear with 56mm offset and the rear doesnt clear the bump stop. I remembered a guy recommanded the 5/16 spacers to clear the bump stop but now i get only 4.5 turns on the thread count when bolting on the rims? waht can i do to fix this? do i need to get longer studs? How hard is it to install longer studs on the rear axle? Thanks for any reply in advance !!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Oh question: is 4.5 turns on the lugs save enough?

I have read several times that 4-5 rotations should be fine. just make sure to check them every now and then. and if you are driving and it feels like one of the wheels is gonna come off, pull over <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
