why do you want smaller studs. the more stud the better. more threads to hold the lug nuts on. smaller studs are just asking for your wheels to take an unintended adventure into the ditch.

I think what you are asking is what is the smallest wheel spacer you can use without replacing the studs. The answer is 5mm.

If you go to 15mm, they have the studs already built in. No need to replace studs on these puppies.

The Eibach part# is 90.4.15.001.4

The are expensive, but they are the best ($120 a pair).

15mm on a stock wheel will get you that just right flush look with the wheelwell.

This man knows his spacers...






OT: Hurley, did you ditch the wheels or just the tires?

KC I ditched the entire CAR wheels, tires and all! LOL

I'm driving a 2007 M35 now and LOVE it. The car came with brand new RSA's which I sold and promptly bought 2 more PS2's (already had 2).

BTW Anyone who needs a 2005 Maxima SE owners manual can have mine for $1 plus shipping. It's in "brand new condition" my fellow Maxima Brothers. First come first served. Paypal only.

My tranny started tripping, my brakes needed to be replaced, and I had a bad CV joint. Got nearly $9000 from the dealer, paid 25K with 4.99% financing and bought this...

that would be the best and safest way to add additional spacers.
