how big of a spacer should i get to look awesome but not too crazy/impossible... i have seen that 35mm spacers r common and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get some pics of 2gns with spaced out 15's?

my advice to you is go to the home depot and buy washers that will fit over the studs, then pick a wheel on your car and add spacers till it is spaced to your liking, measure, convert to millimeters and buy spacers to suit :thumbup:

Parts store should have them. Or you could try Summit or Jegs. Just make sure you get the correct thread pitch for neon lug nuts. They need to be pressed in but people have used various methods of doing this...

something like these: (near the bottom for Chrysler)

no, not realy, just go to modern and get the eibach kits, swapping studs and adding spacers is pretty easy for the most part, and you could prolly have a shop do it if you are worried for a few bucks

bump back from the dead. how large of a spacer can i use on the stock studs in the rear. I heard something like 3mm.


also are the fronts longer and will they fit in the rear. I already bought the fort taurus studs for the front and they work great (10mm longer)

A good amount to get the wheel tight enough to were I'm happy. I honestly think ten would work. Maybe for "show" only.

I thought as long as the lug nuts have 6 or more turns onto the wheels that you will be fine.
