well I was going for +15mm offset, but as other members have experienced my studs were to long so I had to use my 5mm spacer between the 20mm and the wheel. Not sure if I'm going to keep it like this or trim the studs. I definitely need spacers for the front now.

 

yeaaaah.... lose the 5 mil.

 

Nothing wrong with long studs , just get open ended lugs . BTW are you stacking spacers.

 

the factory studs that the 20mm spacer is bolted down to are to long so the wheel doesn't sit flush to the spacer without the 5mm spacer or shaving down the studs.

 

use spacers with replaceable studs instead in that width

 

wow your technical assessment of the situation is amazing I think I'll go out and buy new spacers right now because of your knowledgeable insight

 

i think its a very nice setup as it is in the rear right now. I also have a DB and i was looking at getting those wheels too. So if I am understanding this correctly, you are wanting a +15mm offset that you are triying to achieve using a 20mm spacer? What brand spacer are you running?

 

its a much better solution than grinding down your stock studs, but I didn't come up with that genius idea, sorry

 

yeah the wheels are +35, got the 20mm eibach spacer so I could be at +15, but added a 5mm spacer I had because of the oem stud length. (the spacers are the bolt on kind where you don't replace the oem studs). So when I shave the oem studs I will be a +15 in the rear and +20 in the front (gonna move the 5mm to the front).

Then I'm probably gonna get new tires, since mine aren't sticking so well. Probably gonna go with Nitto Invo 285/35/19 and 255/35/19.

 

ok i understand now.... yea about the only thing you can do other than getting a different type of spacer is to actually shave down 5mm of stud. I wish damn axis made correct offsets in the first place. yea the neogen tires arent known for their stickiness. I hear the falken fk452's and toyo t1r's are good too. just FYI. good luck
