Re: wheel spacing question

Very common to to put fronts on the back, but not rears on the front. You'd need spacers to do that.


Stock, the rear wheels are 16mm offset, the fronts are 0mm offset. So to get the rears to equal the fronts, you'd need 16mm (.63") spacers. 1/2 might be a hair too small, 3/4 would be a little more than really needed to make them fit the same, but would still be a very good choice.

Judging by the length of the stock lugs, you might hafta get bolt on ones (like from Skulte.com) instead of just slip on spacers.

Re: wheel spacing question

Longer studs, yes. Just "bolts", no.

The wheel studs are pressed in, Not exactly an easy at-home-job, to press the old ones out & press new ones in.
