 ![http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/images/spacers4.jpg](http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/images/spacers4.jpg)  
DRS SERIES  
10 - 40 mm track widening

This spacer is fitted between the wheel and hub, exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones. The wheels are then fitted to the hub/spacer with the existing wheel nuts.

so you attach the spacer to the hub using the old studs? and then the new hub utilizes new studs?

with this set up, i can’t see that it will effect it much, if at all.

I am running H & R spacers in the rear only. I am running the DR 5mm to clear the calipers and push the wheels out a bit considering the swapped front suspension is a bit wider as well. These spacers are great, and as long as you have the appropriate studs/lugs, you should be fine.  
Where are you getting pricing from?

I paid roughly $45 for my DR’s.

I ran 40mm spacers with no problems  
I did nasty burnouts, powerslides, drifts, and all kinds of other shit with them and 265 tires and not so much as a hiccup.

if they use stock studs and then you bolt the wheels on new studs…is it possible to change bolt pattern this way?
