Question

Had the same problem as i wanted to keep my superlegerras. The only way was to fit 10mm spacers with longer studs. Couldnt find them anywhere so had to have them custom made. Wasnt easy but worth it

Xtreme Scoobies supply the Eibach Pro-Spacer kits. They are fully machined and supplied with the longer studs and have the central ridge to maintain centralisation of the wheel.
