It kinda looks like this: Imagine your studs in the middle of each round end, now take and put the spacer over the hub, and you'll have the spacer studs sticking out in the middle of each rounded end. And the hub studs will be protruding since they are longer than 1" thus running into the wheel. Jazzer man, I think I've got you on this one EDIT: Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I've had a buncha beer this afternoon. But the info is right

Most people just cut off the chunk of the wheel stud that sticks out past the spacer

My car sits on H&R SS with 10.5's and a 1/4" spacer in the rear, and when the car is on a slanted hill and the body is rolled, I can't even fit a finger between the fender and tire.

See "I ain't no vegetarian... I want FAT MEATS!" section of Choosing a new tire thread for a way to confirm clearance when wanting to run different off-sets, wider wheels or larger diameter tires on your ride.

Oh damn... Well for now I have the stock 4x4 ride height but I do plan on lowering it at some point. I'll check out tha thread jazz, thanks.

I guess when I get em on I'll take a look and c wat I'm dealing with. If worse comes to worse I'll just take the spacers off and replace my studs

[Jazzer The Cat]

Replacing studs is a PITA!!!!!

I have done it to run my 1/2" spacers and REALLY should have taken the axles out to do so, so see ***THIS*** thread for more info.

Well fuck... Hopefully they won't rub :-/
