I have a line on some used Buddy Club P1 Racing II wheels. However, they are a +42 offset. I know I'd need spacers to use them on my xB.

Would I need longer wheel studs if I got a 5mm or 10mm spacer?

If so, how difficult are they to install on drum brakes?

PM squirrel, he ran those wheels before he got the bBist ones

you MIGHT not need spacers, but if you want to run them in the rear for extra measure you can. i have a friends +45 offset wheels on my car and the fronts dont need a spacer, but the rears did, the just go on the studs before the wheel does. if you can put on a wheel you can definitly put on a spacer, its not hard :)


btw good find on those wheels, i personally LOVE them

I know the spacer isn't hard to install; however, if I get a 10mm spacer for the rears, will I need longer wheel studs, and are the studs difficult to replace? I'd replaced studs on disc brakes before, just not drums.

oh im sorry :( i misinterpreted :doh:

ive seen how-too's around, there might even be one on this site somewhere. if they are just pressed into the drum you can remove them easily enough with some force.

you could always bypass that and install onetonegarage.com hub spacers. it moves the whole assemly out

Yeah, I saw the hub spacers; I'm not sure which would be easier.

Thanks for your help.

I vote for the shims. very easy to install. and you wont loose the centerbore(stay the same).
