Default Longer lugs?

I plan on getting 2" wheel spacers for the front and back of the tib, due to molding in some new fender flares over the winter. Will I need to get longer lugs, or will the stock ones be fine?

do you mean longer wheel lug studs? If so and you have a tiburon....pm me. It's a headache to find the right sizes and I had to search for it for about 3 weeks....but I have the sizes, length, knurl, thread you will need.

Pat Cournoyer has 2" spacers on his tib:






My fender flares wont be as wide as his. They're more low profile, but I do want my rims to be as flush as possible.

Ok you realize that a 2" spacer is equivalent to 50mms?

People generally say do no go over 25mm spacers. It's just not safe.

V, you'll need to get an adapter, not a spacer. You'll bolt it on with your lugs and it'll have another set of lugs that you bolt the wheel to.

But even the 25mm one is only one inch.

You would want one like this:

you might want to get a hub centric spacer, or get the proper lug centric lugs,

oversize wheels and spacers will put huge stress on wheel bearings, and the front one's are a pain in the arse to replace
