Spacers for Volk SF challenges.

Just need some quick info to see if anyone knows the answer. Do the challenges have a space in the back of the rim to accomadate for the studs of the Kic spacers?

Thanks in advance.

I have hubcentric spacers and it fits the SF challenges no problem at all. The spacer has its own extended stud that goes to the wheels and a ring to keep the wheel locked to the spacer.

Yes, they have deep pockets so you can run as small as 10mm with built-in studs.

I think the fronts will, but the rear don't have the deep pockets. Very typical of Volks.

It has nothing to with being Volks. If you're running a high pad up front for caliper clearance, that means it's going to be thicker/deeper than a low pad in the rear.

Hey Kris, if I add the spacers and lower the car about an inch more will this make me prone to tire rub, last thing I want to do right now is have to roll my fenders

You sure? According to this pic from last weeks meet, I am no where near rubbing but with spacers I probably will especially as I have a finger gap I want to get rid of also.
