It is not about studs, on hub centric system, you need enough hub for the wheel to sit on.
According to my measurements, a 3mm spacer still leaves about the same hub support as no spacer because it only reduce the amount of tapering the hub has for convenience.
The 5mm actually take away support. Ok for a show car, but I concluded that it won't be enough for a track car.
YMMV |
Very interesting, well in that case it might be prudent that I run 12mm spacers all around. I just worry about fitment issues considering I plan on running a 275/35 tire in the front.
Damn KW Clubsports! Wish they didn't have this silly fitment issue.
I wonder how BMW was able to successfully & safely use a 5mm spacer on the GTS, among other factory track prep'd cars.
