  • Tech question about JDM wheels. Gurus help.

    Okay so here's the scoop. My lug pattern is 5x110. So any nice JDM wheel wont go on without adapters. Not a problem! I can run your standard 19x8.5,9.5 +40 ish wheel set without an issue using your standard 25mm adapters. But here's where the problem comes in. I have extended studs on the car. SO, the extended studs poke out of the adapter thus meaning only certain wheels can lay flat on top of the adapter. I need some clean wheel recommendations that will work for me. I have my eye on a set of AME shallen WX but I'm not sure if they are shaped like this in back....

    heres a pic of what I need my wheel to look like in back. Notice the little pockets? They will allow the extended studs to rest in there and the wheel will sit flat.

    You could trim the extended studs to the right length, they aren't supposed to poke through...

      Replace the extended lugs back for factory lugs and trim if necessary.

        Thanks guys. I was going to try to avoid that, bc I didnt want to have issues getting lugs on and off of them, but I guess it's feasible.

          My first thought "dude just cut them down a bit"
          I was correct...

            put a thread chaser with the correct thread pitch onto the extended stud. measure how much needs to come off and cut with cut off wheel. twist off the thread chaser to clean the threads up at the end. profit?

            or just go back to regular friggin studs lol
