Any cutting involved to get those 5-spoke wheels on with 25mm all around? I want to get the exact setup. Let me know where I can order a set please.

I actually assisted Richard with those spacers. They were the ones I ran from my SS when i had the stock solid 5 spokes.

So here is the scoop!

The Solid 5s, require NO trimming of studs to run 25mm spacers.

The twin spoke 5s do require trimming, and quite a bit. The rears more than the fronts as well.

The pockets in the back of the twin spoke 5s are not as deep as the solid 5s.

Fortunately you don't have to trim down into the threaded area on the studs, it has enough meat on it still.

If you are doing it yourself, I will let you know it will take about 2-3 hours with an angle grinder to do all 20 studs.

Thanks. I have the solid 5's (see my avatar). So, I think I'm good to go. Where can I order a set?

...and to be crystal clear, the solid 5-spoke wheels require no/no trimming of studs, correct?

Yessir, I had the silver solid 5 spoke wheels on my SS.

No trimming required with EIBACH 25mm spacers.

I almost asked the dealer to switch my wheels for the split 5-spoke. Glad I didn't. I really want Ferrada FR1's but not in the budget yet. Spacers will hold me over for a bit.

Does this count as aggressive?








As mentioned, it appears our current spring will have no adverse affects when used on an MRC car

Or just run spacers and longer studs.

Rim/tire/stance combo looks GREAT!

Looks aggressive and functional. What size rims and tires are those?
