Probably not a worry as any hub centric spacers over 15mm come with studs and mount over the originals with the wheels bolting to the spacer studs.

I have 20mm spacers on the front of my Z4 no studs on them at all they slide over the existing studs which I lengthened. How would you bolt the spacer on with out interfering with the back side of the wheel? I have had every thing from 5mm to 20mm and have adjusted the stud or lug bolt length accordingly. mine are hub centric.

I have never seen a spacer with studs in it?

I think the only bbs wheels spec'd for the 350z are RGR's and 4g's ain't gonna buy them

EDIT: I stand corrected 4 grand will buy the wheels but not the tires too

No, proper spacers are designed with countersinks in the mounting holes allowing for the mounting nuts to sit beneath the wheel mating surface of the spacer.

I've never been a proponent of spacers either; however, after running one pair on each of my cars progressively harder on hills runs (for proper fitment of high offset - should say, "not low enough" - wheels/tires), haven't experienced any problems and have gone back to re-check torque as well.... not needed. Still prefer not to run them but so far, they work just fine.

I wish I had a corvette. I was in the market for a C5 until I bought my Z. And I paid 8k for mine haha. It was an insane deal, it should have been around 12K but the guy hadn't sold it and was moving to Boston the next day.

OP, you could run three feet of spacers with a 275-90-17 tire and the wheels would still look like crap. 17's don't work on Z's. Stop trying to make everyone else happy and set your car up the way you enjoy it, but please kill it with fire if you are keeping these wheels. Where are the $4.6k BBS? I guess just $4.6k of BS

Car looks more lifted than my buddy's jeep with 35's. And why do you have a Nismo plate on the car? It's not a Nismo, you live in PA and we don't need front plates. Never understood putting a Chevy plate on a Silverado? Can you not remember what kind of car you have or do you think the other badging on the car is lying to you?
