Rear Rotor and wheel stud removal?

Hey guys, I'm looking into putting H&R wheel spacers on my rears to match up to the fronts that were required with my 300ZX BBK. Due to the width of the spacer I need to replace the wheels studs are they press in's like the fronts? and does the rotor slide off like the front or ???? thanks for any help.

They are pressed just like the fronts. The rotors slide off like the fronts too after caliper removal.

H&R supplies longer wheel studs with the 5mm kit. Some say(lazy ppl) you dont need to put on the longer studs but 5mm is a lot of thread your losing if you dont so install them.

remove the calipers, get a rubber mallet and evenly bang around them from the backside until the rust breaks loose. WD-40 might help too

I have 5mm on my front, and I didnt lose too many threads.
I counted the turns it took to tighten the lugs without them, and it was around 10.
I lost about two turns with them. The lugs still have plenty of threads to grab onto.
Anything over the 5mm and I would definately go with the longer studs.

Actually H&R DON'T supply studs with the 5mm spacers ( not required)

the rotor rusts to the hub over time. just remove the caliper, torque member, then hit the rotor all around to knock it loose.

Both of my sets of H&R 5mm spacers DID come with them. Maybe they are not required I guess but if you have them might as well install them.

My apologies, my supplier led me to believe they didn't as the price difference for 5mm to 15mm is $50 more yet 15mm to 20 mm is only $6 more? besides 5mm is only 0.197" but hey like you said if they supply them why not use em
