OK, I got my 1/4 inch MM spacers recently. Tried them in the back on my 18 x 10 wheels but it seems like I only got 3 and 1/2 turns before torquing.
I am going to try them on the front and the wheel here is 18 x 8. The front is where I really wanted them in the first place......so hopefully I can get 6 turns.
Does anyone know if you measure the 6 turns with the wheel/spacer on? Or can you count the turns with just the spacer on, which would make it much easier?
In the MM directions, it says to loosen the lug nut and count 6 turns and then for each remaining turn.....you multiply it by 0.05" to determine the largest spacer you can run with the OEM studs. So hopefully I can get at least 5 extra turns to put this 1/4 inch spacer on.
Saw A Guest Reading this Old Thread and Thought I Would Show a Safer Route! This Will Return Thread Engagement Lost To Spacer! Although in This Thread it's Serving a Slightly Different Issue With The Bigger Lug Hole Size They Actually Work Even Better on Stock Wheel! Just Be Sure They Do Not Bottom Out!
