I just bought a set of oem y2k wheels for my bird. Instead of beating my wheel wells i decided to go with a 5/16" spacer. I know people have said that the 1/4 is fine with stock studs but I havent seen anything about 5/16" spacers. Will I be fine with these its only a little over .06" difference but I hadnt heard of anyone using these.

you are running those at your own risk. people have snapped studs with those

I'm running 5/16" spacers on, as far as I know, stock studs. I'm not really sure if they're stock studs though, because they seemed to grab a lot of threads with them. I'm thinking of getting some conical/shank style lug nuts though, just to be on the safe side.

NO don't do it!

stock studs are really weak to begin with and
kind of short since the threads don't go to the end.
so running a spacer on there is a bad idea.

i was also thinkin about running the same spacer. but was wondering if i should just go ahead and have longer/stronger studs installed.

thanks guys i had a newb moment fitting the wheels. I used the stock jack and when i put the wheel on in the back it rubbed. " I didnt lower the car to load the suspension and level the rear axle out" But once i lowered the car down it had 1/4 inch or more clearance between the tire and inner fender. so thanks to my adj. pan hard bar my wheels are good.
