Wheel Spacers ??

[2023EGM1]

When I did the proper research, I ended up getting bolt ons because:
- I don’t track the car seriously
- changing studs is no minor job $$$
- proper studs are expensive
- just for the looks it didn’t make sense to spend what, maybe $1.000 all in?
My 2 cents.

The stock Magneride studs are little longer so they stick out father through the bolt on spacer - depending on depth of the recess in your wheels' hub, the wheel will most likely not seat flush on the spacer (and instead bottom out on tips of the studs, if you bolt it this way, it will come off in a few miles)

This is why they're telling you that and they're right. See comment above about shaving off studs.
A lot of people are running slip on spacers with longer studs - I am currently running 28mm and used to run 30 mm.

It is slip on spacers that I'm inquiring about.

Then I have no clue what they mean (assuming you have longer studs) - what your front tire size and front wheel offset ? Because if you do not have anything super wide then it is a non issue at all.

In my case with magneride MACH 1 I had to shave 2-3 mm from the studs, that’s it.

From 20 mm spacers BTW.

Wheels staying attached to the vehicle is probably MORE important on the street than the track.

Changing studs isn't a big job at all.

Basic tools and a press will do it.

Studs are cheap compared to what happens if a wheel falls off.

All that said, a bolt-on spacer is "probably" ok for just light duty street use.

I still wouldn't use them.

Slip on spacers sure you can run them. you'll need about 25mm longer studs though.

If someone said you can't because your magnaride studs, then they understood your question to be about bolt on spacers.
