He guys,

Recently traded in my 03 FX35 for a 09 FX50S with 19K miles...what a upgrade!

Just wondering a few things here.
I've been reading about wheel spacers for my OEM 21" Enkei wheels and want to go for 15mm up front and 25mm at the rear.
I am concerned about the OEM wheel studs will stick out the spacers, does the OEM wheel have these pockets in the back to accomodate any stud length sticking out?
I want to use the H&R spacers with DRM system, which are the ones which you bolt on the original wheel studs and provide another set of stud to bolt the wheel on.

Another thing are the TPMS sensor, i have a set of winter wheels which don't have the sensors, will the OEM wheel sensors still work after they have not been on the car for a few months?
Bacause i don't really see the point of reprogramming the sensor every time when i change from the winter to summer wheels and vice versa.
So if the can be lying in the garage for around 3 months and still work after reinstalling them that would be the easiest way to go. (assuming the batteries are still good)

Any info is welcome!
 
Yes, the OEM wheels have the stud pockets. We sold quite few sets to IS members here and they are happy with 15mm and 25mm setup. The TPMS sensors in summer setup should work when you put them back on
 
Oh well, that all sounds good!I am not at home at the moment and away for work but i wanted to order some stuff for when i get home to get me started modding and stuff Thx for that guys, i know what to do now :-)

PM me if you want to order something. We have most parts in stock!
 
Thx Zebra.

But for me will be faster to order them local, and i will be paying for shipping costs and customs as well when i get something from the US.
 
As long as you don't reprogram to a new TPMS, you should be fine. But, while you're on winter tires, you'll have low pressure warning. Just an FYI.
 
which is better and safer a bolt on adapters or long lug stud Spacers ?

i feel long lug stud spacer is much safer and doesnt require multiple torquing

can somebody post his feedback
