Are you contemplating spacers? 200

I already have adaptors/spacers on the rear. I want to remove the adaptors/spacers as they are pushing the wheel out too far and causing rub on the inside lip of the fender. I have a good 1 1/2" of room inside the tire, so I want to move them inwards a little.

I have done all the measurements and all I need is a 1/2" spacer on the standard bolt pattern and it's perfect. But, the combination of the 1/2" and the rims leaves me with only 5/8" worth of bolt to work with, and that's not enough. So one option was to press in longer studs, the other option I am looking at is to have the adaptors machined down a 1/4" but then I run into the problem of the wheel studs sticking out to far through the adaptor, but maybe I can trim the wheel studs back? Going to give this option a try...



Thanks
-Phil
