Do you think I could get away with putting one 1/8" washer on each of the studs? My new rims (SSR Longchamps) dont clear the caliper by that much… ---

An extra 20 bux to save you from losing a wheel and dying? I think it’s worth it. ---

Yeah you can get cheap universal ones for well under $20 easy!! I just got some 8mm ones for $16. Do not get anything bigger than 5mm on your stock wheel studs though. You need enough threads to poke out the other side of your rim so get something thin, the thinner the stronger!
