My Problem with wheel spacers!!!

EJM05 · #1 09-01-2009, 09:05 AM

Well guys I went out to install my wheel spacers the other day and the spacers fit on fine but the lug nuts that they sent are way way to small. They gave me a 1/2-20 lug nut size for my studs. So I was wondering what the size lug nut I will need to complete my procedure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Erik

9/16 - 18

Yep, and IDK around where you are but around here the only place to get them is at an aftermarket rim shop. None of the auto parts stores carry 9/16"

I just went to Napa and they said 9/16-18 would work. so i bought 5 of them to see. my other option would to be to get new rims with the proper offset?

The older models - pre '06 had the smaller diameter studs....then they went to 9/16. I had the same issue and had to swap mine for the correct size.

Good move!!! I've always considered spacers a band aid. You're always gonna be better off with a good quality aftermarket wheel with the proper backspacing and offset...
