Need Help, 25mm spacers on TL

Hey everyone i have a few questions, i did some searches but only found one match to Rev-01 about 25mm spacers which didn't really help me.

What i want to know is would a 25mm DRM H&R TRAK adaptor fit our STOCK studs (Will it sit Flush).


I am asking this beacuse my aftermarket rims DO NOT have the cavities in the back to support any studs that stick out.

I have Work Eurolines 19x8 ET + 57 (225/35/19)

with this 25 MM spacer it would work out to an offset of +32 (of course i'm going to roll my fenders and cut the tabs if i do this) but i don't want to shave the stock studs to make these spacers fit (saftey).


I can go to my back up plan (B) which is to but the 15MM DRS TRAK spacer which comes with extended studs. But getting it pressed and everything is a little much.

and of course my back up back up plan (C) Get new rims. LOL

Thanks for any help.
I'm just trying to do my research right now


Rims on car.

How about don't do anything ?

The rims are sitting nice and tight on the car right now, why do you need spacers for ?

Give it a try and report back to us. That should make your life more interesting.

With the 25mm spacer, you probably have to cut the rear fender. Simply rolling the fender might not be sufficient to get rid of all the rubbing problems.

There has to be someone who is the first to try any new stuffs.

Thanks, i'll try mearsuring the stock studs and then get the specs on the spacers.

Yeah, i don't think rolling the fenders would work. Might have to cut it, but it's ok. Car is going to the body shop so if i choose to go this route, i can start cutting.

The specs of the Work rims are 19x8 et +57

Well if that was the look i wanted to go for in the begining i would have done that. My initial thought was to have a simple tuck which i have achieved, but as the years gone by i wanted to go with something more aggressive.

I think rolling/cutting the fenders and the spacers would look sick. It would definitely have the aggressive look. Do it! Cant wait to see the results. I'm thinking of running spacers too.

Since you're going to a body shop, your choice is endless. Have the shop fabricate custom bulging fenders for you, and then you can have as wild as possible in negative offset for your rim setups. But make sure the fronts are ok too, because too wild a negative offset, the front tires might scrape the inside suspension components during full lock steering turns.

measure the length of the stock studs vs. the width of the adaptor. 19x8 et32 will be a sick fit, fender rolling/bumper will be involved but not cutting the rear fender... and you definitely wont need custom bulging fenders for 8" wides.
