i have a set of volks (gt-c) and while i could get the rears to bolt up. i cant get the fronts to. it seems like the studs are aimply too short. anyone run into this problem?

Keffer69

never herd of the studs being too short

Get extended studs. Problem solved.



You're welcome.

Xer0_SiN

haha thanks. i was gonna do that, but i just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar problem like this.

xseveredveganx

I highly doubt anyone has the same wheels you do.

I replaced my studs when I threw on my slip-on spacers.

Volk GTC require special lugs.

Xer0_SiN

gs: thanks for the heads up. i got the special lugs. the fronts dont fit though. i think its cause the pad clearance in the back to allow for bbk clearance. when you seat the wheel uou can clearly see that the studs is simply to short. at first i thought it might have been the axel (not too sure what to call that) in the middle cause that looks like it sticks out farther than the studs. but even after i took off the center cap, it still was the same result.

Wheel specs? my Stance Mindsets needed spacers to fit the rears.

Xer0_SiN

stenger: 18x8.5 +38 fronts, 18x9.5 +38 rears. tires is 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 respectively. when i put the rears on i didnt need spacer. but then again, its stock height.

Xer0_SiN

i ended buying a set of these tonight for daily use. 17x9 +38. i was wondering what a good tire size would be? im looking for a meaty look. im not too sure if im gonna drop or not. will 245/40/17 be a good size for me? if i do lower it, ill pick up a set of tanabes since it seems like thats the poplar choice.

I'm no use when it comes to tire sizes.

But I thought you needed at least 18's to fit over the TRD BBK?

Xer0_SiN

lunatic: thats what i thought as well. i think you could get away with a smaller wheel and a wicked offset LOL. in any case, its a good thing i dont have a bbk installed ;).

Luna7ic

Nevermind. I didn't look close enough at your signature and that it is for sale items. I thought you have a BBK installed. Doh!

xseveredveganx

I'm curious as to what you want for the calipers. I think the discs may be an expensive item new from the dealer.

I still would LOVE a BBK.

Xer0_SiN

severed: they are the calipers only. one of the caliper bolts is missing. you can either source that from stoptech themselves since they make the brakes, or if youre savvy enough, go to homedepot and match em up LOL. no rotors either but comes with eerything else. meaning the stainless braided brake lines, pads, and calipers themselves.

xseveredveganx

Dealership would probably want an arm and a leg for the rotors. Ugh.

Xer0_SiN

damn that sucks. i would think that maybe other brand could fit? im not exactly too sure if the xb is stoptech specific when it comes to the bbk.
