I was thinkin of putting some of the 2L Nissan 180sx rims on my ute. I got some for $140 and the stud pattern is the same but the offset is obviously different. Do you think it would be worth it if i took the rims to a rim repairer or engineer or something to get a spacer welded to the rear of the rims? Has anybody ever looked in to this option? Is it legal considering they are not a seperate spacer but actually a modification to the rim? Has anybody ever sourced longer wheel studs? is there anything i have forgotten?

not legal still but i think with a well odne job whos ever going to notice that, longer wheel studs has defianately been done try a search as i dont know the details

are you talking the factory rims?

only other thing is what wheel nuts and what profile tyres to use

spacers are legal as long as they are physically connected to the hub or wheel ie screws, bolts. thats what the guy at bob jane told me anyways ....

i got told the same here in victoria, bob jane said that, so if they say that they are legally liable as well if you get a reciept with the spacers listed. However, it is not technically legal in victoria...... but not illegal as t states no mods to thehub or spacers to be use, but technical department say captive adaptors are ok.
