i have a set of 501s on my box that im thinking of adding a 5mm spacer to.my question is, is it safe to run a 5mm spacer with out adding longer studs?i drive alot and i dont want to end up losing a wheel.just want to push the wheel out a bit to make it flush with the front wheel.will the stock tuds be long enough?

 

5 mm will be fine. Just make sure they are torqued down. Padanky on Club xB runs them without any problems. I was going to do 5 mm but decided on running 10 mm instead.

 

3mm is fine...

5mm gets iffy.

 

5 mm is perfect 10 mm is iffy

 

Just make sure you get at least 4 full threads of engagement... 5+ is better.

 

I bought these instead- http://www.onetongarage.com/products...him/index.html This way you don't need longer studs but they are about 10mm. Took about 30 min. to install. They also have these-http://www.onetongarage.com/products...cer/index.html

 

You can even and both the spacer shims and the a 5mm spacer. that is what I and SEXB909 have. It will push your rear wheels way out. Or you can just and the otg spacer shims. and that will put both the front and rear flush.

 

5mm is fine 10mm is definately not!
