Could anyone with 1" bolt on spacers do me a favor?

[sleepn_sn95]

My xxrs have a small pocket on the backside of them but I need to know how much the stock studs stick past the face of a 1" spacer. I think there will be enough clearance but I just want to make sure before I buy anything. If someone could measure how far the studs extrude from the surface of the spacer that would be awesome

I had to cut the studs about 1/2".

Get 3" moroso studs and take the Chinese hardware off them.

Were your wheel hubs flat or did they have a small pocket? This is what I am trying to avoid

It's dark here right now. But I have 1" hub centric spacers, stock studs.
Since these pictures I've replaced the brakes and studs but they're the same stock length studs and still work. You can sort of see the little pocket at the bottom of this picture on the back of my 03 cobra reps.

and this is the only not straight on angle I have of the spacers not sure if it helps you tell how much they stick out..

They don't stick out more than 1/4" probably less. I can't out the nuts on the spacers without a socket. I can maybe get a thread or 2 started by hand but the studs are really set back in there.

Here's them with my new brakes..
Still a bad angle but you can tell they don't stick out much.

[MENTION=10867]sleepn_sn95[/MENTION] I'm swapping the rest of my lug nuts later today... (Bought enough for 1 wheel last month and after likin them got the other 3 wheels worth) Want me to grab some pictures and measurements for you while I'm out there? Just as reassurance. Lol

My spacers wouldnt work with my XXR's. Would have needed to cut the studs and I didnt want to do that so Im dealing with the look for now. Eventually Ill get around to putting longer studs in it.

What size spacers were you running and did the xxrs have the little cutouts in them?

My pockets are WAY bigger than I thought. But studs are the same.

Regular lug nut for reference

My 60mm lug for reference

Pockets on my rims

Fat finger for reference.

Im going to have to pull my wheels to see if it will work

 

[sleepn_sn95]

Just pulled a rear wheel and the little cutouts are 0.50" deep. Studs are 1.25 so with a 1" spacer it should work perfectly. Just sent some money over to [MENTION=18995]FivepointSlow[/MENTION]'s buddy for his 1" spacers so they should be here and on soon

Mine are unilug so I don't have the spots like yours.

Ahem...

Funny how nobody ever takes the easy way out...

 

[chris91]

That's what I plan on doing eventually. You have to pull the axles to do it though right? Can't f**kin stand gear oil... LoL

That's a lot of stress on those studs. . Not something I would recommend. That's just me tho. .

Rodrigo. ive put the car down the track with a 1.6 60' on those studs. i am more likely to sheer an axle, than break those studs.

Your one of the few person here that I would actually ask and trust with any advise on this forum. . But i still think it's a bad idea on a DAILY driver. . More stress out on the street. . Most cars on here are daily driven. .

I'd think about replacing your studs for sure. I'm totally comfortable with my spacers because I just swapped out my studs for brand new ones. Then again the ones on my car where original and my car sat for 13 years so they where weak as hell. Lol
Glad you and my friend made a deal!

You shouldn't be using bolt on spacers.. strongest and safest option is normal spacers and arp extended studs
