FAQ: Official wheel "SPACER" thread!
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe my spacer is against the rotor, not the hub. The rotor sits on the hub, with the studs holding the rotor in place. Maybe I am wrong, these damn financials at work are killing me. Only a few more days until normal work hours for me again. Life of an accountant, sigh...

OP did you spray penetrating oil in that area? The inner ring of the spacer where it sits around the actual hub that protrudes through the rotor?
You're both right actually. The hub face is covered by the rotor which is what SQualZ is picturing. Terrasmak is saying that the center ring of the spacer is what's contacting the actual hub because it's a hubcentric spacer. That's what is causing the spacer to be stuck.

I just realized its my universal 8mm wheel spacers that is making my Z shake like crazy @80mph. So now I am in the market for a 10mm hubcentric wheel spacer. I should have payed more for the wheel with the +12 offset.WILL MY CAR STILL SHAKE AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH A HUBCENTRIC WHEEL SPACER???
The 5mm does not even look like it has a ring on it.. The 10mm might be a little too long for my studs.. I just installed 46mm studs last weekend... The stock studs are 42mm in the rear.
Help Please!!

Best to just order the 80mm ARP studs, they work with all spacers.
Ok so today i attempted to install my Z1 extended studs for my new wheel setup. When i took off the wheel i noticed a lot of rust in there, which made everything hard for me. I can't seem to take off the rotor, what's the best way to install these?
Pic of my new setup soon

Must be a lot of rust.Are you able to get any "rusted parts" product
on the part you are trying to remove?
As a side note,the best stuff touse when trying too loosen rusted
bolts is a home brew of equal portions of acetone&ATF.Ii works
wonders!
