Spacers

Thanks in advance,
With the appropiate longer wheel studs what thickness of spacer would be considered safe

For example would something between 6~a max of 10mm I haven't measured it properly yet be absolutely safe, the pcd is 108mm and studs are 12mm

Cheers
David

there is a ratio involving the diameter of the studs and the amount of thread that is suppoed to be wound into the nut.

Im sure someone will be along soon to give you the answer

You need about 6-8 full turns of the nut to be safe. Also, beware of wobbles with spacers - make sure you get the hub centric variety and you should be ok up to about 10-12mm.
