Spacers for the front wheels! I’d love to have bit more offset at the front end (yeah, this is just for looks) and the easy way is to get spacers. I also need new wheel studs and I’ve been looking for good ones from ARP’s catalog.
Tried to google the measures of the wheel studs, but got nothing reliable. Here is a pic of a MR2 AW11 wheel stud with some info I’m sure about 🙂

| Thread length | 29 | 1.142 |
I’m still wondering which ones I should get 🙂
(100-7715 (lexus is300) is a lot cheaper than 100-7718 (celica gts))
Well, they are and they are not. If I would have some longer studs and just, lets say 5mm thick spacer between the hub and the wheel, that would be illegal. But that is impossible to notice unless going through inspection. If I have a spacer that is either from the car manufacturer or the wheel manufacturer and is especially meant for the situation and I can prove it, then it is legal. Also, spacers which can be bolted on either on hub or wheel so they are as solid as they can be, that should be legal as well.… Read more »
Are spacers legal over there? I know I can’t get a warrant of fitness for my car [needs to be done every year] with spacers wider than 22mm, but I don’t even know if smaller ones than that are acceptable D:? If they are legal I’m definately buying some!
