Wheel spacers

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a more aggressive look for my corolla s. I'm looking at the wheel spacers, what sizes are perfect for my car that don't need longer lug bolts?

Thanks,

Chris

Lug nuts need about 6.5-7 turns to tighten.

With the stock studs, I wouldn't trust to go any larger than 5mm.

A good spacer will bolt to your existing studs and the spacer will have it's own studs for the rim.
I have a set of 2 in the FS section. They are 5x114 30mm thick. (1.25")

I don't think that those will work as this generation Corolla uses a 5x100 bolt pattern.

GLWS though.

OK, Darn. I do recommend the type I'm talking about. You dont wanna have less stud to bolt up to.
Thanks Ray
