when using a 5mm spacer, do i still need to replace my bolts?

what is the best brand of spacer available and are spacers safe to use?

is it true that you need to torque your wheels every week when using spacers?

sorry for the ignorance...

Depends on the wheel hub's thickness. Rule if thumb is 6 full turns on the bolt. Don't worry about brands. No, torquing is the same process.

ok oem 1) BBS style 8s 16x7.5 et 15 2)bbs style 5s 16x8 et 23 3)bbs style 29 16x7 et 20

drill and fill or adapters on bc coils not dumped. Looking for flush (no poke or very little poke) and mild fender rolling at most.

for each, what is the best fit? also what spacer/adapter would be needed for meet my needs. Im not sure if these will hit the caliper or poke after clearing it.

thanks

None of them are ideal for adapters. All are suitable for redrilling.

ok thanks, on the 8 inch wide, whats the lowest total offset using spacers that i can get to be flush?

I have a fitment question. I have some bottlecaps that I am getting rid of soon. I want to lower my car with vogtland springs which will drop it 1.8'' all around. I want a wider tire than I have now (6'') What is the most I can go without rolling the fenders? offset and tire and rim suggestions welcome...

Should I lower first and see what I can fit or buy the rims first?

Anybody tried Falken Azenis RT-615Ks? Im looking for a really grippy summer tire for my US weaves. The car will be autocrossed. Any other tire suggestions?

the only size 615k for 14 inch wheels is 195/60r14.

I believe stock tire size is 195/65R14?

They're good, not great. Not sure there are any other choices still produced in 14". Look into the Hankook R-S3 or Dunlop ZII to see if they're available as they're both a bit better than the Falken.

What size wheel studs should I get that won't be to long, or to short to run my center caps, and the 15mm spacers.
16x7 et35 konig remembers
15mm spacers

You will need 64mm studs:

i found the dunlops in 185/60r14

So dunlops in 185/60/14

OR falkens in 195/60/14. hmmm

Would 195 offer a ton more grip over 185?

Has anybody had any luck with using 6-7" lips as barrels? I guess the valve stem would have to be on the inside as well.

Sorry, long forgot stud measurements. I know 75mm is gigantic and won't work, but otherwise unsure.
