Im thinking on putting spacers on the front as i have them in the rear and i have stock GLE rims I have 2 sets...a 5mm and a 10mm spacer. My question is, does anyone have 5mm or 10mm spacers up front. Wondering if anyone has before and after pics. The other ? is with the 10mm spacers up from does anyones tires rub. I was able to put both spacers on to test fit and the 10mm spacers look good but kinda close to the fender. Wasnt able to test drive to see if it rubs as i have stock studs on and it only threaded on about 2 turns, even with the 5mm the bolt only threaded on about 5 turns.. to little of turns for me to be on the safe side.
So any pics of the 10mm on or if they rub?

I had 15mm on the front with no problems. Project kics with built in studs.

So even turning and bumps and dips and that still no rubbing. Good. so i think the 10mm it will be. Taking off the spacers for the winter but once spring get the rears back on and do the fronts. i think it will def give it a more aggressive stance and look.

Oh and also ive tried searching but wasn't able to come up with it. Maybe not searching right. What is the center bore of hub. Was looking at some hub centric spacers but didn't know which ones to get without knowing the the center bore. The ones i was looking at said 66.1 mm centerbore

Why exactly? FWIW I run 5/15 mm spacers F/R and I definitely could have gone wider. But it doesn't really matter anymore as I picked up some beautiful track v1 rims...

honestly i dont know why. only reason is im getting winter tires on tomorrow and they are smidge bigger than what ae on know. ill refit them and see if they fit with the winters and if so ill leave them on

Half year bump. Did you end up putting those 10's up front?

I wear 10's up front when in stock (winter) form. (235-45, 17x7 +40)

Nmex, any chance youre selling those 10mm's?

Can't do that....

I use 10mm in front in the winter, and 10mm in the rear during the summer. So the 10mm's get all year usage.

Whereas my 5 and 15's only get used half the year.

worth a shot. Chasing flushness in the front.

Are the 10mm bolt on or do you press the studs out everytime you switch? Or open ended lugs maybe?

I have 3 sets, all H&R brand, and each set came with extra studs (5, 10, 15).

And no, they're not the type that have the extra studs on them, just a spacer.

I ended up permanently using the 10mm studs in front and 15mm studs for the rear. Cheap insurance when I swap the spacers out.

Unique set-up for me.

The extended studs in the rear arent too long when you slap the 10mm spacer back there? Are you using open ended lugs?

NmexMAX

I went through a helluva time when trying to get everything to work well. And no, not open ended, the extra 5mm isn't enough to affect it.

Although, I bought a set because I thought it would have been needed...but it wasn't.

I do have "aftermarket" sorta "deep" lug nuts though, even for the stock 17" wheel, which I believe is frowned upon, re: acorn, etc.

Very enlightening! Off to looking for extended studs. Thanks bro

jeff5347

not to post days later , but no i havent put spaces up front yet. I got new rims so that pushed em out a bit but i think 100 would still look good. But then that means new lugs and studs. No cash for that right now
