Well...got the first one on...you can see by the wheel pic that cutting the studs wont be an issue.

The instructions say to TQ the spacer on to mnf specs. I used a TQ wrench and tq'd to 80. Is this fine?

I cant finish this now, since I have stuff to do, but I will try to finish tomorrow.
Thanks
RC

Can you explain to me why it won't be an issue? They look pretty out there to me.

His rims have "holes" where the extra will go. Look at the other pic.

That space between the holes on the rim are so deep that the stock studs will fit right in there.

Tq?

You need to repaint that floor.

I chose carpet again with race deck squars for protection.

RC, I see you were researching wheels spacers pretty heavy about 2-3 weeks ago and now you have them. Did you end up going with the ones off ebay like I did? They look similar but then again I guess all wheel spacers look similar.

I think those are the rebels he has had. RC, man you're title is at stake on those calipers.(gonna pull the bling license) lmao

i would put some kind of thread lock or something on the spacers. and antiseize on the new studs.

Nice, but why do I care what the garage floor looks like? Carpet holds all that dust. ANyway, I need to keep the floor bare now so I can test my Pinewood derby cars on a long flat surface.

Clark: Those are the ones from SSCRAMLIN or something like that....about $80 shipped and 6061 Billet AL.

The neighbors think I'm nuts when they see me vacuuming the garage.

Finish up the install already. I want to see it with the spacers installed. I actually been wanting to do that. Since your a professional now, hook me up.

Now THAT would be a twist of fate.

I cant finish because NOBODY will tell me what TQ to use on the spacer. It's at 80 now.

For real tho, I have to get the girls ready for church now...Ill have it done tomorrow... Should look good.

I would guess 80 since thats what the tires are at, but maybe like 100 just to be safe.

He Greg!!

The instructions on the spacer say "MNF SPECS" so I assume, "the green GT" that I would use that. It also says retorq the first time after 10 miles.. Then redo.. It's gonna be a pain since I gotta get the car up on the boards each time, but Ill try the intial 80 I did, drive it, retq at 85, drive it again, then test again.

Ill put pics up Manana!

I've been working so much I haven't had the time to even start my car. It's been about a month now. I'm leaving again on Sunday for another 5 days. I'll check it out this summer though.

I hang in my garage with my neighbor every night. Drink a few beers, watch TV and work on my other project (Yamaha Zuma Scooter). I'm building it for my son so he can learn how to ride before I buy him a dirt bike. I'll snap pictures and post them soon. Just got the plastics painted flat black.
