Correct, and the rear wheel is an 11 as opposed to 10.5.

The SVR wears 305 rears but the offset is more positive (less negative) on the Maelstrom wheel, which results in the wheel actually moving slightly inward, which might allow for a slightly wider spacer. Next week, I will pull off my rears and get the exact offset.

There is not. Might work for awhile, but will tear up your fend if you hit a deep pothole.

My precision torque wrench set at 92lbs confirmed that my other cheap one was not really torqued to 92 and now things are all better in spacer land.

Keep in mind the torque needed to break loose the nut for removal wouldn't be the same as the torque used to tighten it.

Yep. With the precision wrench at 92lbs I got a full 1.5 turns on everything. I went cheap tool wise, won't be making that mistake again. Now everything is butter smooth vibration/sound wise and she feels like a missile going down the highway. Happy camper.

So I just ordered my spacers, 17mm all around. Was wondering I have gyrodyne wheels do I need to trim the studs at all or is it a direct fit thanks

About to pull trigger on 17MM all around. Just want to verify that there shouldn't be any rubbing with a mild drop (Eibach lowering Springs).

Edit: Might go 15MM to play it safe.

My experience: 15mm with 295s on back works well regardless of the drop. Increase the tires to 305 and you'll catch a fender lip.

Gyrodynes. 17mm. Yes you must grind but BFD -- fast, easy, simple.

The advantage now is the adapter will be at 17mm which now PREVENTS THE NEED TO DO ANY CUTTING OF YOUR STUD!

This is huge as it will save us time and money. These are now a true DYI without the needed in involvement of expensive wheel companies or machine shops. No grinding at home.

I was quoted $245 shipped for one set but was told that we would all get $50 off if we can get 10 or more people involved.

Delivery will be within a week!

Please express your interest here, in this post.

I will post before and after pictures so you can see the difference!

Want to thank VIC55 for his original post that offered his advice and pics from round one.
Interested in a set of these. Take my money! Where do I buy?

*These will fit a Coupe with the 63.4mm center bore, correct?

Just call Lenny. He'll be able to send you the exact stud that you can have pressed into the adaptor at a local shop.

No need to go to a shop to have the stud pressed in as long as you have an open nut of the right size.
I have replaced two broken spacer studs now, and the replacement studs I bought from a local auto parts store (Repco) came with 22 mm open nuts.
Once I removed the broken stud I inserted the new stud, hammered it in just a little to get it to grip then simply pulled it in tight using the 22 mm nut, then removed the nut.
Of course it helps to have a workbench vice to do this!

Just installed my 15MM spacers in the front. Is anyone experiencing a bit of force fitting the wheel onto the spacer hub? My wheels don't mount on the spacer hub without having to be pursueded by tightening the lugnuts.

Also, the rear factory studs need to be trimmed more than they do in the front with Tornado wheels. Tried to bolt up the rears as well and there was a very noticeable gap.

The hub-centrics on Jag wheels varies between 63.3 mm and 63.4 and the adapters are 63.4, so with some wheels there will be a 0.1mm interference fit. This is not an issue, but does require a bit of effort the first time you try to remove a wheel. After that, it gets easier.
