Longer wheel studs

Anybody ever use longer wheel studs to add wheel spacers to keep their tires from rubbing the steering linkage when turning sharp to the right? Or any recommendations on wheels with more offset to keep from rubbing? pics would be great! I currently have FMTV wheels that have been cut and welded in 6 hole centers, so im not sure of the offset or backspacing. I will try to get a measurement tomorrow. Im also running 395's

I used longer bud bolts to accommodate wheel spacers and HEMTT rims on my 920, they worked great!

Im not sure what "bud bolts" are. Lol sorry, kinda new to all this. Do you have any pics? Where did you get them? Thanks

Post a few pics of them and I will tell you what the backspacing is, +/- 1/4".

FMTV-wheels aren't expensive, and re-centering them is not such a big deal...
So I would say, better to get new wheels made, with adequate backspacing, than adding spacers - anytime!
