studs have worked fine in the past. many members swear by them. i use billet spacers but i'm anal about such things. both are available from our sponsors or the great evil flea bay.

Consensus here is that the stud extenders are OK for aluminum wheels, not so great for steel, too much flex.........

I would go with the solid aluminum spacers. Especially if you will doing offroading on rough terrain.

Ya I have never used the studs, I just never felt comfortable with them, they will be fine for just cruising the streets, with alloy wheels, just make sure you check the torque, but if you want to run any kind of wheel in an “offroad” environment I would go with the billet spacers, check out the site sponsors they sell them.

I agree, the billet spacers are a better way to go. I ordered a set from one of the sponsors and recieved it today.

Hummmmmmm - How did you like the KEWL MMT beanie?

Thanks for the info, ordered 2" alum. spacers from local custom cart shop today

Never felt too comfortable with the stud extenders either. They don't seem like they would hold up to large tires taking a beating off road.

Yes it is KEWL, and the key chain went on the golf cart keys! My daughter liked the beanie too, she kept saying "hat hat" So I put it on her. Then she grinned
