Default Spaced on Project kics and Slammed on Tannabe GF210s -- Pics

1" drop in the front and 1.2" in the rear. I just installed 20mm spacers in the rear. Front spacers will be installed within the week. My offsets went from 37 to 17 in the rear. Fenders are rolled and so far no rubbing.

Yep, cut them myself. No biggie. I cut about a 1/4 inch off all the factory studs. The wheel is now flush with the spacer. No issues at all bolting on the bolts to the cut factory studs.

Nice drop and spacing. Never been a fan of those rims though.

To save a little face, I bought them at an extremely discounted rate. They've grown on me over the past 9+ months. Also pics were taken without the locking face plates.

Nice...but you know, you could've just bought either open or extended lug nuts?

Probably need to read my other thread. The lug nuts that hold the spacer in place are open. The OEM factory studs are too long for the spacer NOT the wheel. In other words the factory studs extended past the spacer which means my wheels didn't sit flush against the spacer.

Nice. That looks much better. Glad to see you got that little stud issue out of the way.

Thanks Robbie, it's always nice to fix things on your own.

Ohhh. In that case, you did the only thing you could do?! Bravo! I know on the OEM rims, there are small crevaces or "caves" that would've fixed that problem, but you've got aftermarkets.


Really, really, nice car!

Thanks, yeah I guess it's understandable that project kics can't make their spacers for every type of rim imaginable.

Thanks, and Thanks for the stud cutting advice. Although towards the end I got Lazy and didn't thread a few of the studs with a bolt before cutting it. Luckily they still went on fine.
