Do you guys think any universal 5mm spacer should be fine? Probably not hubcentric. I already have some rings on my volks. I hear that as long as i have about 6 threads left on the oem studs i should be good. No one makes a built in stud spacer that small.

Well bringing in the camber would bring the top of the tire closer to the fender which in end will cause rubbing which is what im trying to prevent. You guys thinks the tire wear from -4 to -5 are that noticeable?

I mean the most everyone should expect out of their tires running ~-4 camber is about 10k miles at most.

ive run 5mm spacers on the stock studs for a few months and been fine. i have extended studs, just havent gotten around to installing them yet. i read the same thing about the number of threads. you should be fine

Ok cool cool. Were yours hubcentric? Any brand you guys recommend or just any universal 5mm should work.

agree on ur statement about adding camber will bring ur tires closer to the fender. That why I said adding camber won't help.

I agree with eurodre's solution. Smaller tires wit a pull.

I had a similar issue but I resolved it with a pull and more drop which gave me more camber. Will post pic for u in a lil.
