mike did u order longer studs??? i would with the spacer just to be on the safe side. i have stripped and even broke on becasue it didnt have very good bites with the space on em. wouldnt want your new rims to pass u on the highway :)

The rule for spacers is, if you can't get six turns on a lugnut, you need lunger lugs.

where can i order longer wheel studs from? how long are ours? and if use a normal 1" spacer, is that not good or should i use a hubcentric wheel spacer? where can i find this shit at, i only find the adapters, no spacers.

you dont need spacers. last i heard if you dont use spacers, you just have to take out the center peice.

Nope, Im running Momo 16X8 wheels that are a stock replacement for the RX7 with no spacers/stud changes.
