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.
