Default project kics wheel spacers

tried finding something on this but was unable to. unless someone knows exactly where a similar enough article is then please send me a link. but anyway, im going to be putting project kics 15mm wheel spacers on my rear wheels. now my question is, will the stock bolts sit lower than the front face of the spacers so they will fit flush?

my guess is they will not. if they dont, what is the necessary steps to take in installing this hardware? it be nice if i was able to read the japanese instructions but i gotta say i cannot. i would assume i would have to take out the stock lug screws and replace then with shorter ones so the spacer can be affixed where it needs to be. or is it possible to grind them down to a shorter length so they sit lower so the wheel can be seated and bolted back down properly? i just dont want to go about this the wrong way right away.

if it helps at all, the wheels i have are ruff racing 281's. thanks.

I don't exactly know what you are asking...

Install is as straightforward as you can get; the project Kics bolt on to your stock hub, and is held on by the small nuts that screw in to your stock lugs. There is no grinding down necessary, this literally takes 5 minutes to do. Look at the back of your wheels, there should be spaces between the lug holes to allow for your stock (shorter) lugs.

That's because it's not an issue with the Project Kics spacers.

cHECK the wheels you will be using with the spacers. See if they have "ROOM" between the bolt lug holes....

if there is room it will work...

HERE is a pic of the back of a wheel!

All you need is a "slot" or gap between the lug holes so that the original OEM lug does not make contact with the wheel you are using.

check the back of your wheel and get back to us. or take a pic and post it.

NO!!! Stock bolts WILL stick out past the front face of the spacers...this is why you need the 'SLOT' above on your wheels. whichever ones you choose to use.

on the Z with stock lug bolts anything less than a 25mm spacer will not sit flush and your wheels will have to have this slot in order for the wheels to mount up WITH OUT the oem lug bolts making contact.

JLine and Maya wheels also do not have those gaps. SSR and Volks do.

Ok Thanks Guys, I Kinda Forget What The Wheels Looked Like From The Back.....i Sure As **** Hope They Do Have The Spaces For The Stock Lugs To Sit Into. I Got And Paid The Extra Money For The Project Kics To Make This As Easy As Possible. Thanks All For The Help.
