Is they anything I can do, to make them fit cos I wont be changing my rims that's for sure Cheers Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to fix this is new wheels but a spacer may be able to be fitted to the hub before the wheel is put on. I don't believe they are legal but if you have enough stud length and get good enough amount of threads on with the nuts it should be ok. Be careful doing this though.

I was in a car that had a spacer on it and it let go. Not fun at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
