Will I have to shave my stock studs?
Hey guys! I'm in the market for some 17x9 +27 wheels with a 5x114.3 lug pattern. I plan on pairing them with +15mm conversion spacers. These specs aren't that common so finding similar threads has been a challenge.
The wheels are 17x9 +27 Work VSKFs. I'm wondering if I will need to shave my stock studs? I'm not sure if this set has dugouts between each lug hole that will allow them to fit. I'm still waiting on the vendor to show me. About my car: Stock body BRZ Fortune Auto Coils Camber bolts (will be running some slightly aggressive camber to get these wheels to fit.) Considering ordering rear control arms in case I encounter serious fitment issues. Mods feel free to remove if this is against the rules. I've posted in the "Will if fit" thread but I still awaiting a response. |

so those are going to be effectively 17x9 +12? this sounds like a bad idea

Typically 15mm spacers will require shaving of the studs since they will protrude past the spacers a decent amount. But if the wheels have deep enough cavaties then it should work. But you will need to know for sure.
