What's that mean? How does that reduce the risk? Also, you should very strongly consider ditching the titanium studs. Probably fine for the street but do not track the car on those. |
From what I understand, smaller spacer sizes aren't as much of a concern when using studs — as the wheels aren't entirely resting on the hub, they are instead resting on the studs. Therefor, spacers smaller than 12mm are OK to use.
The E92 M3 GTS for example came with 5mm spacers in the front from the factory, in order to clear it's KW Clubsports — the M3 GTS also has wheel studs.
When I start tracking the car, I will be ordering a set of MSI studs from Bret Slicer. Titanium studs aren't ideal, but for the street they should be fine. |

The wheel cannot rest on the studs. The holes are bigger then the studs.
