Default wheel spacers poll....

Well, what say you?

1 inch spacers with longer studs, or 1 inch spacers that have studs integrated, and bolt onto the original studs...

mine has studs allready integrated into them, so that is what I will choose

as opposed to some REALLY long ones, I think its "safer" - but I really don't know - so I'll be watching this thread as well

The key is maintaining concentric mating of the hub. If you can get away with a spacer that has this feature along with the longer studs - it is as good as the other option. If this is not feasible or an available option - then I would definitely recommend the spacers with integral studs.

Note: Any proper spacer will need a machined ring to accept the hub flange on the vehicle and then a corresponding lip on the other side to match the wheel. If these mating features do not exist - you are relying on the wheel nuts and studs to align and center the wheel on the vehicle. This latter condition is not desirable.

As I have scrouged up wheel sets for the race car they all have different offsets. With long studs I can change the spacers easily when I change wheels
