I just got back into town. A box arrived with my spacers but they forgot to provide the proper lug nuts for them. I checked the local parts store and they only carry 7/8" lug nuts which are too big--they don't allow enough room for the socket to fit within the wheel adapter. So, the guy is sending me the 5/8" lug nuts which should be here in a couple of days.UltraFJ said:Still looking for the pics Hoser. Where did you get the spacers and what specs are they?
I ordered two spacers in 1.25" and two in 1" widths to play around with. 1" is pretty much the minimum you can go with a wheel adapter without grinding down the wheel studs. The 1" spacers will also work with OEM alloy wheels but probably not steel wheels.
In the front, I wanted something a little wider to compensate for the track width loss when raising the IFS. It was either 1.25 or 1.5 inch. I played it safe and went with the 1.25" ones since my tires are fairly wide and didn't want to hit the fender on compression--if I decide later I can do something wider, I'll just sell these spacers and get new ones.
If you are ordering spacers, here's the info you need:
5x150
110mm Bore on vehicle
14mm x 1.5 studs
Keep in mind that the 5x150 is larger than most bolt patterns. They have to build it from a large 8" diameter piece of billet aluminum which is more costly. The bore hole on the vehicle is 110mm and so the wheel adapter should be 110.3mm or something like that. Try to get the wheel nuts from the supplier too. The 5/8" nuts seem to be less common.
Slee Off-Road also sells wheel adapter for the 100 but they don't normally stock them.
