I couldn't find a nice place to remove my front wheel studs so I went to the spot where it looks like they will come out and took a chisel and took a little out of that spot now I can get them out nice and easy......I stripped a couple with the new rim and had to replace.......also I love the stance check mine out mine already sit out that far with the offset and 9.5 rim width.....the only problem in watch putting to much wieght in the car cause I just hit my tire with to much wieght in there the other day but I also have 20s on mine tooo so anyway I wish I could figure this stuff out I would post a pic for you where I chiseled a little out......hope this helps.....don't you have all kinds of batteries in your trunk?????? Or am I thinking of some one else???

I'm not a fan of using spacers, but the stance does look good. As Justin mentioned though you'll be seeing a lot more road debris on the side of your car...especially if the front are moved out as far as the rear. Removing studs isn't that difficult. Just heat the surrounding area with a hand held propane torch then put a drift on the end of the stud and whack it with a 5lb. sledge.

1.5" spacers would definately put the wheels outside the fender wall, a little too far out for me, I think...

Thanks... I guess I will have a little more debris kicked up back there to clean... On the front I am only going to kick them out an extra 5/16", thanks again for the "how to"... I did contemplate getting new rims with the proper off-set, but I love the look of these stock rims too much...

What did you chisel out?...... I've got a stock stereo set-up, no batteries, amps or speaker cases in the back... I'll be avoiding severe dips and bumps in the road like the plague though...

Those look great back there. Now get the fronts, lower it and roll the fenders
