    Fuchs 7R Stud Length and Spacers?

    I just purchased a set of Maxilite 7R Fuchs for the rear of my car and plan to run 185/70 size tires on them. After some reading / research it appears I need a pair of 15mm spacer and some longer wheel studs.

    My question is: what is the recommended brand of 15mm spacers I need and where can I buy them. What is the length of rear wheel studs I need in order to run the 15mm spacers?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Install the wheel with appropriate spacers and check for clearance to the caliper. I had to grind mine down a little.

    Ed,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    I ended up mounting a 185 size tire for now and the 7R / tire fits with no spacer installed. Down the road I plan to put a wider tire on and will look into a longer stud / spacer combo.

    So I assume then that you had no caliper interference, glad to hear.

    I also noticed and for your consideration, that my deep6 Maxilites despite having the same offset as my original deep6 Fuchs; Maxilites outer lip edge sticks out further by 5mm. I'm sure it'll be the same with the Maxilite 7's.
