I'm putting C7 wheels on my C5 I need 20 mm to make the rear tires flush with the fenderwell (same as stock).

What is better bolt on wheel spacers,

OR,

Spacers with longer wheel studs?

I like to drive very fast and love the corners has anyone used spacers as large as 20mm with or without any problems?

Replacing wheel studs (especially the rear studs) could be a PITA to do. Adapters will certainly be easier as they bolt on and have their own studs.

Make sure that the new wheels have recesses at the mounting flange so the OEM studs will not hit the wheel mounting flange. You can get adapters in 18mm (3/4") or 25mm (1") thicknesses.

I don't think it is going to take much more than a 1/4 or 3/8" spacer to do it, but with that being said it is going to need longer studs. The bolt on adapters have to be thick enough at least to cover the stock studs, unless you change them or cut them off.

thanks guys great advice.!!!!!

i see that it would be very important that the stock studs be flush. luckily the stock studs should be easy to grind down since they have about 1/2" of no threads at the tip, also i went with 1" spacers for added strength. i tend to drive it like i stole it

also from my measurements ill need at least 3/4" to make it look right. I found a place in colorado that uses aircraft billit that are hub centric and the studs they use are stronger than stock.
