Then why not a bolt-on spacer? Bolt spacer to hub, bolt wheel to spacer. No need for longer studs.

 

And that's what these are? http://www.wabfab.org/products/wheel...eelspacers.htm They just bolt onto my current studs, then the studs off the spacer go right to the wheel, right?

Edit; Oh, just saw the installation instructions. These might be my answer!

I see the sizes are 1", 1.25", 1.5", 2" and 3". I have a .25" spacer on the fronts now, like mentioned before. Also like I said before, my OEM calipers would scrape without that spacer on there, and with these bigger ones, I'm not sure how much I'll need.

 

How does my list look?

10mm brake line wrench is really handy, though not necessarily a must have, just don't round any brake line nuts off
brake hoses ONLY if you need to replace your current ones, you'll also reuse that little bit of metal line that comes off your original calipers too
qt brake fluid
someone to help bleed the brakes

Stuff like that, bet you already know those things, though.

 

Yeah definitely! What size spacer do you think I should go with? 1" or 1.25" would be best?

 

Got no clue. I don't have my old calipers nor the WE calipers so I can't measure the difference between the two.

One way to figure out what you need is to get your parts, then do some measuring, then order what you need, .....or for someone else with the info to chime in.

 

I found out the new calipers are 47mm larger, which is 1.85". Centered would be about .9 inches on each side. So would the 1" spacers work do you think? Should I maybe go with the 1.25" just to be safe?

 

1.00 (new spacer) - .25 (old spacer) = .75" difference between new and old spacer
.75" (spacer difference) - .9" (needed space, presumably) = -.15

Assuming (and you know what they say about that) you have no usable extra space between wheel and caliper now it seems(disclaimer, seems) that you would need the 1.25" spacer, which should leave you with .1" more room between caliper and wheel than you have now.

Then again, I slept or doodled through all my math (english, history, etc) classes so maybe you've got some math of your own to be doing.
I kid you not.

Fun, isn't it?

 

Haha I got my math down! Converting the millimeters to inches must have been enough for my brain tonight haha. That sounds pretty good to me, 1.25 it is! Thanks again for showing me those bolt on calipers though, I would've never checked those out.

 

Good luck, post up some pics and if the math's wrong remember, slept or doodled!
