I bought and intended to install 13mm hub-centric spacers to give me clearance for 12.5" tires.
However it appears the stock studs are not long enough and my mechanic can't find any that are longer.
They thought they found a place that could make them custom, but turned out not to be the case.
The only option they can offer is bolt-ons, with a minimum of 1" spacing. I really hesitate to go this route because, first of all, anything more than stock is not great to begin with. 1/2" is all I "need" to clear 12.50s. I really don't want another 1/2". Plus, at another 1/2" I will almost certainly need to replace the factory fender "flares" with some real ones to keep the stone chips to a minimum.
At this point, if I can't find studs I'm more inclined to get aftermarket wheels with the necessary offset, but not crazy about that either as I have yet to find aftermarket wheels that I really like.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where I might be able to source some custom wheel studs?
