Default Wheel Spacers

I just purchased 19 x 1O " back rims

from reading it seems the 68mm offset wil require a spacer

who has a source for longer wheel studs ..??

It would be better to get the 1" wheel adapter instead of spacers with longer studs.

It is the safer approach to avoid sheering off lug bolts.

I would suggest a test fit before doing either. I doubt you need either.

if you had 18s 65 offset stock

your new rims will be

16mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
EXTEND an extra 10mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

those offsets won't require longer studs or spacers.

the 19x10 +79mm wheels are the ones that needed to be spaced out.
