i have a 1998 Se 5 lug ; i need wheel spacers. if i get a 5 or 8mm, do i need longer studs?
what is the biggest size i can go without needing the longer studs?

thanks

Damn you have a kouki s14 now. I remember when you told me you regretted selling your black s14 when I picked up those nismo mounts. Anyways I think a 3mm spacer is the most you can use on stock studs. 5mm+ you'll need 60mm studs.

btw I'm getting another s14 using all my sr savings for another car. This insurance bullshit is going to take awhile.

For some reason I'm thinking that S14 stud bolts are a different length than S13s, maybe not though. :confused:

Either way, I used a 1/4" (6.35mm) spacer on my S13 with no ill effects. I think the general consensus though is that 5mm is the safe number.
