Installing wheel spacers?

[WeeYari]

The 62mm studs, no I could not get in. I'm borrowing the following pic which shows, like I previously mentioned the possibility of having enough room by removing a shoe.



I found an extra extended stud that I had purchased when I discovered the Ichiba ones were too long. Despite what I had mentioned a few posts back, I ended up getting OE + 5mm (50mm). These I was able to wiggle in, and still had ample thread for the 10mm spacer. That said, you should be fine with a 55mm stud in the back. Any longer than that and I'd say you'd be in the same boat I was.

This is becoming an horribly long, and potentially confusing discussion on stud length. Hopefully some others will chime in eventually as plenty of 10mm+ wheel spacers have been installed in this community.

But I got 15mm spacers for the back, so if I understand correctly from what you're saying, I'm headed for disaster, but I will let you know

EDIT: Not confusing... for 10mm spacers you should have a 55mm stud, for my 15mm spacers, I guess I have 60mm studs, because OE studs are 45mm... What's confusing about this?

And, you're saying that I should have problems with studs bigger than 55mm, which means spacers thicker than 10mm... in the back.

Added bonus when you take the hub off, you can stand at your work bench and replace the studs instead of sitting on the floor.
