Stud trimming with spacer question

Just make sure that your spacers are hubcentric and are made to lock together. I also agree that 35mm is a lot of spacer, but for some body kits and applications extremely low offsets are required.

wait a second.. I know these are stackable slip ons but isn't the 15mm one a bolt-on which then is still considered a "bolt-on" that is less than 35mm and so my rims still don't have pockets, how would this still work? i'm confusing myself..

...which brings us to the original solution suggested: buy the correct wheels for your car.

Wow, great thanks man I would've never thought about that! Let me just pull 4k out of my asshole and do just that.

That aside, I'm sure I wouldn't be in this situation if I had shelled out 4k for expensive rims rather than buy a used set at nearly half cost.

Oh, so you only spent $2000 on the wrong wheels. Much better decision.

You seem to misunderstand. I have plenty of viable options. The thread was meant to ask about spacers NOT asking for suggestions on which route to take.

First of all, I can relip these if I really want to and they'd be in brand new condition for still 40% off of MSRP.

So I mean.. argument pretty much denied. Guess you have nothing better to do.

So can we get back on topic rather than taking a fatty shit on my thread?

[venturaII]

Plenty of options, eh? Then pick one and impress us, because so far your comprehension of using an inch and a half+ of bolt-on spacers and stock studs to make the wrong wheels work isn't doing it..

Mm, forgive me for asking a viable question. Please oh mighty king, bestow upon me the knowledge of being able to comprehend such a subject. How could I forget that I was supposed to impress people with questions about things I'm unsure about. Sorry man! I thought forums were for knowledge how could I forget that the internet was for trolling instead of information; how silly of me.

Anything else you'd like to say? I'm clearly dying for some more smartass comments.

Well, what's it going to be? You have plenty of options or you can't figure out how a 35mm bolt on spacer works and what wheel pockets are for?

(p.s. - that was a big hint)

Sigh.. still not with the program.. guess were not on the same level ☺.

I guess you've never really learned or picked up any sortve reading comprehension. It's okay let the grown ups handle this situation.

22mm will clear factory studs, but hardly anyone selling 22mm unless it’s a fully custom made one. 25mm is easily find. Been using the 42draftdesingn and adapted adapters for years and still solid.

Took a while to find the right pic, but found it.

Sorry if I was confused/confusing.

The 15mm bolts on, then the next 15mm worth of spacer slips on top of that to make a flat mating surface for the pad of your wheel. No pockets needed.

So basically for my fronts, I can still just run the 15mm spacer provided from PBM and won't need pockets? Or will I need the full stack.

Lastly, if I went with the ARP method and the 30 slip on stack method. Wouldn't I still have 5mm left to shave off?

If you went with the PBM kit, you wouldn't need to swap your studs because the 15mm bolts onto those and then the rest stack over it. Nothing to shave. Since there's still a little confusion, your best bet would be just to call PartsShopMax (phone number is on the website). They'll walk you through what you're trying to accomplish and clear things up.
