Stupid question
So this might seem really stupid and obvious but Advance Auto sells 5/16" spacers for 5 lug vehicles. would those work for my evo with stock wheels? Are they extremely ****ty and not worth my money?

If you run longer studs and/or stronger lugs I guess it would be fine. You don't want this to happen.

Yes i HAD the same spacers. Previous owner put them on...didn't have any problems until this occurred.

Those spacers are CAST. They're the worst **** you can run ever. Get longer studs and real CNCed spacers if you must.

I'm thinking ichibas too, i would go like 15mm all around so I doubt i would need longer wheel studs but I'm not sure. I dont really need spacers I just thought well **** theyre cheap so maybe ill keep it stock lol. dont want my wheels falling off.
