    Wheel spacers

    Anyone know what thickness of hub or wheel spacer can be used on subie hubs before one has to install longer studs? 5mm., 10mm etc.?

    My opinion,
    Any wheel spacer requires longer and stronger studs.

    My original lug nuts (acorn type) were closed end. So there was no extra length.

    During our first autocross season (2013) had 4 or 5 stud issues with standard studs (no spacers).
    Now running M12x1.5 3" ARP evo studs with 15mm spacers in rear no problems last 2 years.

    I have 3mm spacers on my rear. That's as big as I'd do with stock studs.
