Default Wheel spacer / tuner lugs issue.

Small problem (literally). Currently I'm running Axis Finish in the size of 19X8.5 / ET 35 on all corners. Ready to commit on 13mm/19mm spacers to make flush w/fenders. Dilemna: According to Pure M, finding longer tuner lugs for this fitment is scarce and suggests I convert to a stud conversion. Does anyone have the resources to point in me in the right direction? Initially when I purchased a set of the 'Finish' I had to order tuner lugs separately to accomodate the smaller diameter bolt holes which was a PITA. What are my chances of finding longer tuner bolts for proper fitment of these wheels to spacers? Thanks to all in advance.

Default Ben...I have a set of 12mm H&R spacers if you want...

...I will give them to you really cheap if they will work on your wheels....they have never been used. I ordered my H&R wheel bolts from ECS... I also have a set of conical seat bolts for the 12mm also.

Default Thanks for the offer but my real issue is finding the proper tuner lugs that are longer ....

and skinny enough to use w/ my wheels as the bolt holes on the Axis are much smaller in diameter than stock. Thanks for the offer Greg. When can you part from the spacers?

Default you can have the spacers at any time as long as they will work on your

wheels...these did not work on my Flik wheels, but they may work on your wheels. If not then don't worry about it. I was not aware that you needed lugs that are smaller in diameter to fit your wheels..... we can try the ones I have to see if they work.

Default I have tuner lug bolts that are good for 12mm spacers...

if you go any larger than that, you should use the spacers that bolt to the hub, and then the reg length bolts for the wheels

That "starts" at 25 mm for H&R, though...
