Spacers for Prostars

[Ruckus46gt]

The cobra rotors are larger than the GTs so that is the problem.

I don't want to cut things being this is still a street car.

why not just grind the calipers. You can use a small spacer and grind the calipers a little bit. If you take a lot off you have to worry about cracking but dont have to take a super lot of and plenty of people have done it.

That is an option. I just hate doing stuff like that. Realistically I need over 1/2 of an inch to get the thread engagement.

I know many people are running the wheels on the shank engagement only, but from a safety standpoint I want the studs contacting the threads under the bolt section. If 999 cars can do it and 1 car looses a wheel at 130 MPH odds are I will be that car with some of the luck I have.

grind the caliper and run a 1/2" or 7/16's space. I org used a 7/16's mr gasket spacer with stock studs on my gt for many many passes then towards the end went to arp 3.5's when i got my 1/2 inch hubcentric spacer(was going to race legal, but before that never had any issues with tech but nobody made me remove the lugs either)

i think the 3.5 stud would work though. from the looks of things on my car if i had the extra .5 i would be perfect. i only have the 3's right now...

Do you have the ARPs?

the last 1/2" or so is not threaded.

I test fitted the stuff with the ARP's and I don't like what I see.

I am getting tired of this crap. Maybe I will give bogart a call.

[AZSonicSnake]

no i do not. i am not sure exactly what stud i have, but i measured 2.5" last time i had the wheel off. so that means i only have the 3" ones since .5" is in the hub. the last 1/2 or so on the ones i have has no thread. this is part of my concern. i know if i get .5" longer atleast there will be more thread in the nut...

My stud measures 3.5 end to end and it still is not long enough.

What size are your spacers?

[Black96SVT]

I have 15x3.5 up front (cant remember back space) with a 1" hubcentric spacer and am fine
for the rear for 15x10 w/ 6.5" back space I have i believe .5" spacer, ground caliper face, ground banjo bolt and im fine haha
