Only garbage spacers come with screw on studs. I wouldn't fit them to a shopping trolley. Do it properly and take the hub off put decent studs in it not that big a job. Avoid the ones with screw on studs like the plague.

Ok, going to get the right studs then.

You still need to buy the correct length studs though.

Thanks man, need to see if I can get them locally before looking into importing (the exchange rate is crazy...)

Some of our locally produced models were factory fitted with 4.5 and 5" rims, as well as 165 Tyres. These models were factory fitted with the wider spacered Drums (they measure 1" thick) and of course wider drums, front and rear to keep the tracking correct.

 

Fitting 7.5" (or bigger) discs will have the same track as these wider spacered drums.

 

The rear shoes are 1-1/4" wide and twin leading shoe drums on the front had 1-1/2" wide shoes - they are different!

 

I would suggest in your case here Vinay, fitting the wider drums front and rear.

Thanks Moke Spider. Excellent advice and information as always. Oddly enough my car came as standard with 4.5" banded steel wheels and the previous owner of my car had fitted the optional 5" PEG Mistral wheels. I think they must have had a unique offset that ensured that there was no rubbing issues. I'm happy to hear that there shouldn't be an issue fitting spacered drums all around. Now I need to source some locally, hopefully it won't be impossible.

I have the same setup as vinay (same wheels and brakes and want remain arch less).

Just so I'm clear, will the rears stick out too far with spacered drums? An extra inch is a lot.
