I've never tried, but from reading the replies on the Forum, looks like 5mm (3/16"). The 6mm is just about 1/4".

i think most people get extended lugs with their 5mm spacers...i went with 15mm spacers but they came with lugs already attached to them

They'll fit, but a lot of people wouldn't really trust them, since your studs aren't being extended. The more distance you put from the hub and the rim, the less threads you'll have exposed for the lug nut to "grip". Wouldn't want your wheels falling off

I had 5mm in the front and rear and they were fine without extended studs. 6mm I think would cut it a little close but still should be ok. Anything past that tho isn't safe.

I think you mean studs, not lugs.

Is anyone running Eibach Springs, with Aspec Wheels and 5mm Spacers on a 3G?

I'd like to pull the wheels out a bit, but obviously I don't want any rubbing.

Thanks!
