kevlar, have you already considered picking up 6 of the 5mm spacers from T3?

I Just replied to Gabe,he can make 15mm spacers for $30each so I think I'll have him go ahead with those.

Just need longer studs,anyone know FOR SURE which ones to buy?.

I kept the stock studs and put washers behind the wheel. But only used 2 washers, so I still had a considerate amount of thread left.

Works if you only need a little bit spaced.

i just used 25mm bolt on spacers.... that big of sandwich spacers seem risky

ask nacho about sandwich spacers

I'm only needing 15mm,I also only need them for 1 of my many sets of wheels so going bolt would put all my other sets to far out.I believe gabe is making them hubcentric so I'm not too worried about the thickness.

well bolt on just means they bolt on.... it doesn't change the width

you'll be fine. look into 95 landcruiser replacement hub bolts. they may get you just enough and they're fairly inexpensive to be had at your local o'reilly's, autoz, advance, etc...

I think you can get long wheel studs from arp to but they are kindof exspensive but you get to pick the length

I found that SW20 MR2 uses the same stud size but 15mm longer which is perfect.

Not sure what your saying,if I bolt on the wheel spacers than they stay there and my other 3 sets of wheels are now offset 15mm each side more than wanted.With the spacer I can pull them off when running any of the other sets.
