Wheel/caliper clearance with spacer?
#1
What's up guys, I bought these wheels from Mr. Iamkeniff and didn't really consider them not clearing the z06 brake kit I was putting together. I am getting ready to swap the t bars out for atomic's coilover swap and was going to do hubs at the same time since mine are original 80k miles and have a little bit of play. I test fit my brakes yesterday and realized that I only need 1/2" spacer to clear them well. This works out because I think the wheel is a bit too far inboard anyways so two birds one stone. I found some ready lift brand billet hubcentric 1/2" spacers I want to use, but am having a hard time finding a little bit longer than stock wheel studs. I only need to use them up front to clear (rears clear perfect.) Anyone know where I can get some of those studs (longer and possibly stronger) and is it going to be unsafe running a spacer? I really don't wanna give up the wheels or brakes at this point. Thanks for any help.

A possibility is cut down your current studs and use a spacer with studs that are pressed in and just the use factory studs to hold it. I had rear spacers like this, but they had a minimum width of 2.5"
