So I have big & littles
My question is about the fronts? 15x 4.5 and cobra brakes --how do you make them fit?
Spacers? what? like a 1inch ? And what about the studs? I heard 3 inch studs? Is that right?

Or what about the spacers with with studs build in ? what would I need?

And finally which is best?

thanks George :beer:

Yes long studs (3-3.5") and a slip on spacer is the best/safest way to go. If you use a bolt on spacer (with built in studs) you have to shave down the OEM studs to the thickness of the spacer then you get very little thread engagement.

As for the thickness, it depends on what wheel you have. Typically a 1" spacer will work but that will vary slightly depending on the wheel you have.
