If you use a spacer of more than 1/4 in, make real sure your lug nuts capture ALL of the length of the stud thread. It may require you too buy new lugs. I learned the hard way many years ago. Dennis

Retailers have been blowing out 15" rims which almost nobody wants anymore for some time, but this is a new low.

First off, Sorry to resurrect an old thread, I couldn't find anything recent on the faux knock offs.

I just bought a pair of 78-79 Z28 turbines for $250 that I want to make into faux knock offs.

I put one wheel in place and noticed that the holes in the wheel are much larger than the studs in my hub. Are there bushings required to fill the gap or do I just need the right lug nuts?

Also, the links provided to the correct cones and spinners no loner work (not a surprise since it was in 2011). Does anyone know what parts are needed?

Ten year old threads tend to lose picture links.

Start a new thread to get some new attention to your topic, and include a link to this one, even closed, for reference.
