I pulled my rear wheels off and lo and behold there is definite rubbing going on. There are 1/4" spacers on there but it is not enough. I'm going to need 14-15mm and that is not a job I can tackle at home. Any idea what changing the studs and spacing it will cost?

you can get spacers from H&R that do not require changing your stock studs, these are 15mm

I looked at those and They say you need to change the studs. That may be for liability's sake, but my studs don't appear long enough. It only looks like I'm threading on about 1/2 " as it is.

Problem is you are using wheels that were not designed for the narrow body 964 and you are pushing the limit on the width of wheel that will comfortably fit under a C2 flare. Jim

A 9" or 9.5 ET 47 would probably be the ticket. Jim

I know Jim but I love the look and they are wide. If this doesn't cure it I may be looking at another set up. One more question. Why do they make a 14 and 15 mil? Is 1mm going to make that much difference?
