2 inch spacer with long studs
So I've got long wheel studs for running my draglites but have been looking at vette wheels for the street. Anybody tried using those big spacers like me a spacer and not an adapter?

Re: 2 inch spacer with long studs
I run an adapter on the front of my car with long studs. I run the 2.500" ARP Stud. After pressing it into the hub and running my vette brakes with a 1.75" adapter (2.05" total spacing) the studs are flush or just a tad under the surface.
Unsure if you are running the 2.5" or the 3.25".

Re: 2 inch spacer with long studs
proper torque on the lugs is a key part to make all of that act as one piece...... More crap ya add, more chances for failure. Don't just tighten them by hand n say good enough like a stock tire.
long as you have a legit reason, studs and spacers have a place. [ why they are made, cept to many use em to push a tiny 14in tire out on their low rider to make it look like wider wheels......]
