I want to get 5mm spacers so that my wheels sit more flush. I've heard mixed opinions about whether or not I need extended studs for 5mm spacers. I've decided to play it safe and to just swap out the stock studs for longer ones. Even though it'll be more expensive and time consuming, I'd prefer the peace of mind that my wheels won't fall off as I'm driving lol

Has anyone done this install or know of a DIY for it?

Thanks in advance

the370z forums's diy section has 2 DIY guides, i believe.
both aren't as detailed as i would like, but if you do know your way around the calipers and rotors (which i, sadly, dont) then that should do. good luck!

i ended up taking my car to a shop LOL

Make sure you have air tools or the right equipment if attempting this. I went bbk recently and some of the caliper bolts are a pain to get off. Get a quote, not sure if you are doing all four or not but if it is anywhere under $100 just pay to have it done. I wouldn't worry about the wheels falling off, diy's can point you in the right direction there.
