Default wheel spacers on 35th LE SS

I bought 1" spacers and the LE Wheel doesn't sit flush. The Studs from the hub sticks out too far and hits the rim. I could get a 1.5" wheel spacer but that would probably look silly, the wheel would stick out too far. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and maybe got smaller studs.

Thanks,

Sam

cut the unthreaded end part of the stock studs off. Thats what I did to mine when I ran 1" spacers. you won't find shorter studs than stock anywhere. If you have aftermarket long studs.. you will just have to cut them but don't ever put drag wheels on there because then the studs will be too short.

Cut the unthreaded part of the studs, and they worked just fine for me.

Cool, How does it look on the camaro? Doesnt stick out too far? What did you use to cut the unthreaded part of the studs with?

Thanks

Default what about 1/4" spacers

Would 1/4" spacers work with the studs in there now or would that be too thick.

I only ran stock stock 16x8's with the spacers.. Here are some pics..

How the 1" hubcentric adapter/spacer looked with the cut studs.. all I did was use a cutoff tool. A dremel could even work or a grinder.


1" spacer pics..





with stock short studs I'd be worried about using any standard spacer on there.
