I'm having a trail fit of my rear wheels tonight
When I bought them they came with all sorts of spacers and longer studs the wheel are 8inch width and have an ET of 33, I'm told that these will fit fine on the back without spacers, or i can fit spacers if I want. If I go down the route of no spacers will I still require the longer studs? Reading the info on fitting longers studs it seems pretty difficult. Is this true? How long should I allow to complete this job if it is needed? Thanks in advance |

depends on the wheels... ive fited some wheels that you can get a full 7 / 8 turns of the nut and thats fine but i would be worried about bouting on wheels with only 4 / 5 turns.if the wheels are a taper bolt type then you have more of a chance.
orignal carat/caravelle wheels are fitted with standard studs but different nuts.

yep.
They hold the drum to the hub. Your wheel nuts will do the same job. There wont be many folk on here with non standard alloys that still have em fitted |
