Default Anyone running spacers on Rota P45R?

I have Rotas P45R right now and am thinking about adding spacers with built-in studs. I don't remember if the P45Rs have indentations at the back of the wheels for the spacer studs to go through.

Anyone here with Rota P45Rs running built-in studs spacers?

There are no indentations, there are an extra set of holes. Have you not looked at them?

^Ya...it has holes in-between......you just need to ensure that you get spacers where the nuts that mount the spacer to the hub dont pass the face of the spacer outter surface??? get it??

what size spacer are you wanting to add???
if, 10mm, then you need those that use the small flush mounted nuts with the four holes and special key to install them....get it?

take a wheel off and look at both sides.....take pics, etc if you still cant get it figured out..

The simple way to find our your answer is to just walk out to your car, jack it up and remove one of the wheels. Look at the back of the wheel and make your determination as to whether the spacers can work. That should be much more reliable information than you will get from asking questions on the forum.

I think i might just remove one of the wheels and check.. Or if i can just find a pic of it online.

Thanks J...... Very helpful as always


Edit: Oh, i'm looking to add 25mm spacers. My wheel specs right now are 18x9.5 +20 with 275/40/18. It will be fine as long as i roll my fenders right? I forget what my camber is but it's within spec right now...... I wont need to go extreme on the camber setting to run this setup right //__\\

Here's a pic of the P45R, will this be suffice enough to tell?

Since you are going to run 25 mm spacers, you don't need to worry about your wheels. The stock studs are 25 mm long. The spacers will just cover the studs and you put your wheels on the new studs on the spacer. Problem solved.

^^^ Yep yep, but my question is... If i roll it all the way, would i still hit the fender since i'm going to end up with -5 offset? Assuming my camber is within spec and i'm running 275/40/18 tires... 18x9.5

Hard to say dude. I wouldn't think so.

If it did, i couldnt imagine it being much. I would just put them on and prepare to do what you have to to loose the rub.

it depends on your offset,

And i used 20mm in the Rear, and 5mm for the front.
