Why aluminum? Plastic spigot rings do an adequate job of making wheels that don't fit, well fit, along with spacers and extended studs, begs the question why you didnt buy wheels that actually fitted in the first place
Spacers are a big bug bear of mine.
Where can i get studs 5mm longer ?I don1t want them to long ,I might run out of space in the wheel nut .Spacers are a big bug bear of mine.

Rally Design or I've no doubt they'll be some on Ebay somewhere.Check length carefully, I think TVR used longer than what they call "standard" ?
With a wheel off screw a nut fully on to see how much thread it can accommodate

Hi.
I have 10mm spacers on every side on my griff with the 17 inch ford seven spoke.
And have with my original studs exactly 6 1/2 turns of the bolts. This is the absolute minimum of turns to get it road legal here in Germany. So your 7 turns are fine because our laws are very strict.

I have been using 5mm standard alloy spacers from my local car spares place (Allwoods) for about a year now (12,000 miles) with Ford standard fit wheels - no issues. You just need to torque your nuts up as normal and that's all. I have done several track days and lots of cross country driving with no ill effects. Much thicker, and you won't get enough turns on the nut, so IMHO avoid anything from 7mm upwards.
Sorry for digging up an old thread....
Does anyone know which extended studs would be required for a 10mm spacer? I'm away at the moment and can't measure my current studs.
I've seen these on rallydesign, but wasn't sure if they are long enough, or maybe too long?
