I think that's because we have shallow wheel nuts. A slightly longer wheel nut would make it look less. And as mentioned, that's without a 5mm spacer.
But unfortunately 68mm seems to be the shortest 10.9 HT stud there is.
This is with 68mm and a 5mm spacer on the rears. (Excuse the dirty wheel)
White ones are et38. That's what I have. But I also have 18mm front spacers so use 90mm studs (as per link) and nothing on rear so have 68mm.
But mine is a daily and I've changed the bearings a few years ago for gen ones.
Yes exactly. But those you have look huge. Almost look more like 90mm!
But with your current 3mm/5mm spacers I would say 68mm/75mm would look the closest to them being matched. That company I linked do half sets, so you could drop them a message and they'll mix & match for you. There is other...
68mm is the smallest size to get. The problem you have is the rears sit in the hub up to the knuckle, but the fronts sit further in, due to the disc, thus making the rear studs look longer.
Personally, I'd go 68mm rears 75mm fronts.
I remember years ago coming up to a set of lights in my first 182 (circa 2007) and there was a silver corsa b there. Looked standard apart from some wheels and shiney tailpipe. It was just us there and i thought my 182 was quick and wanted to "show off" when it went green. However, that never...
Wheel looks amazing. He does do good work.
As for the plate recess, use a coffee wheel on a drill. Makes light work. Just make sure you keep moving and doing let it get roo hot on one area. Also see if you can get some panel wipe/degreaser as that will soften it up.
Another option is to tuck the lambda sensor up in the heat shield. Buy a 2nd hand one and do that. @Louis Was selling a few.
Then just bung up the decat. The light comes on every now and again and then goes off. Saves going to a garage to get it mapped out.
