Default wheel spacers

how safe are these wheel spacers with studs already on? I need to bring the stock 06 wheels out and my only option is 25mm w/o changing the stock studs. I want to get 20mm all around but they require changing the stock studs i dont know what kind of problem i will run into changing them. Now project kics all in back order.

The studs aren't TOO bad. It's just a little more intensive than a brake pad job. I've run adapters on my truck and it took a beating and kept on going.

my concern here is safety dont want any wheel to just come off or get any vibration. What brand do you have jason, did you change the stock studs, how hard ws it?

I had F25mm R30mm(project kics) on my stock 06 wheels. It sat perfect with the hotchkis springs. Now with the rays I had them switched with due to a little more rubber on the back.

that wont happen, i have project kics also, very good quality, studs are mounted on the spacers and solid...so i didnt change the stock studs....reason being, i want to run the stock 06 wheels to keep a low profile, but i put aftermarket wheels on when i got to drift/track events, and i just cordless impact off my wheels, spacers, whatever i need for whatever wheel combination i have at the time.

I'm hoping to be there, 9:30 is close to my bedtime lol. I have to get up at 4:30am the next day. If I do go, it will be more towards the early evening.

i got 25mm H&R rear and 20mm eibach front. eibach makes a few different types..one where you replace the studs and ones with them attached. I got the 20mm with ones attaches. mynismo.com sells them.. they are designated by 4 in the end..type 4 https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/311090-lowered-my-z-pics.html

That's pushing it man. I tried H&R 20 mm on my stocks in the rear and could only get around 6 turns I think. Be safe and just replace your studs, shouldn't cost you more than 100.
