Now the problem, the studs are too short you can see here.

My corolla
BTW I called Jegs and spoke tp a guy there but he says
that they go 1.5" deep into the wheel, but the thickness of the wheel is only 3/4"
and he says it might not be safe. What you guys say about that, think it will be enough to hold??
I dont wanna be like that dude in the RX7 :S

those will look sexy, especially with the rolled on white paint. woot woot.


doing anything about the fender clearance?
and what power are you running to justify some big old meat(what size tires btw?)

Re: New wheels!!! but a problem.......
 
Haha fenders are already rolled or should I say hammered out, and tires are
gonna be 215, 50's for now in the back and 205's up front. I'm gonna swap
in a Ka24de into it soon so a tq monster it will be ;D

PS you guys think I can just have the holes countersunk instead???

just get some new wheels. those things look like ------- truck wheels. :l if you must use those hidious things, get some longer studs. it isnt rocket science. i mean...if you were gonna bolt something together and the bolt wasnt long enough...what would you do? Get a longer bolt right...well...sounds like a great idea.
