Wheel Spacers?

[MudStainKILLA]

is it safe to run a 1 inch wheel spacer in the rear? Also will I need to get longer studs?

[jiveass]

i dunno that ive ever seen 1" spacers in use. what are your reasons for wanting spacers? i think you would definitely need longer studs.

It is perfectly safe. I don't have them on the rear but I have 30mm up front. What you are going to want to get are hub centric ones that have their own studs. Like the ones I have on my car:

you have wheel adapters....he is talking about spacers that just slide onto the origional lug studs.

I know, what I am saying is you want adapters and not spacers for that size. Sorry, I thought I made that clear in my post. It would be really unsafe to run a spacer or adapter of that size that does not have it's own studs.

I always felt safer using arp lengthened and hardened studs with a spacer. Had to on my camaro when I did vette wheels.

Main issue with small adapters is that some of the original stud can poke through and not allow a clean seat for the wheel. This will cause more harm than good.

You can trim studs as I've seen done before or check to see if your wheels have a resessed area behind where the nut goes

It is actually illegal here in PA to run a spacer to adjust the position of the wheel. That being said, my best friend ran a set on the back of his '70 Dart for years with no issues. I agree with the recommendation to install aftermarket studs and to make sure you have sufficient length for the lugs to fully engage.

I ran a 1.25" spacer on my rears. I also have the ARP studs.

Running them for clearence in the rear so I don't have to take a bfh
to my inner fenders. ls1camino how much was it for the spacers and studs?

Studs came with the rear end and the spacers came with the wheels, sorry.

A quick Google Search should come back with your answers...I'd like to post links, but I am not allowed.

ya man no worries ill google it up and see what i get. Seeing longer studs in my future what is the best way to remove the old ones and press in the new ones?

Yup...pajeff02 had a writeup on here somewhere.

I removed brakes and rotor and and one turn of the wheel to a certain point you can smash em out one by one. Then put the new stud in and use a big stack or washer to place over stud and pull into place. I used the rotor as a template to make sure they came in correct

Thanks PAJeff02

The sticky just covers the rear axle. I did the front studs earlier this year when the K-member was swapped out.
