HX wheels and ARP extended studs

We'll I wanted these wheels got them like this (next year they may be white), but for now I will live with them. Had to grind the caliper bracket down a little with the 5mm spacers for wheel clearance. Worked out well and I am happy with the set-up. Will be autoxing soon so this will ensure durability.

How they were before the ARP's

I also put 5mm spacers in the rear to keep it not looking like the fronts sticks out more.
Enjoy

I would go with a better wheel spacer. A hub centric would be the best and safest. Raceland.com looks like a pretty quality product for only $49 a set. That's a good deal.

How much of a pain in the ass was the stud replacement? I know I replace 1 broken stud and I did it the lazy and painful way. I didn't remove the spindle at all and just used a die grinder to remove some metal off the stud to get it it. Also shaved the brake dust plat and what not.

Very nice looking setup. Love the color.

If you don't mind me asking, what exhaust are your running (Size of main piping and muffler)?

Yea I will go with hub centric spacers soon...also my friend has a shop and told pretty much what you said that he had to shave the brake dust plate to remove the spindle.
