Default is this possible?

right now i have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rims...all running a 20mm offset front and back....would it be possible to put 5mm spacers on all four wheels without new studs?? or would i need to get new studs with the 15mm. Also, running 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 toyos.

Lastly, im running tanabe gf210's...wondering about rubbing issues as well.

oh yah sorry...one more thing...with spacers with built in studs...how does that actually work? does the spacer bolt on to the factory studs?

you could probably get away with 5mm spacers and no longer studs - I would not go any more though (especially out back where the studs are short to begin with)

No one can tell you if you will/will not rub. I would plan on rolling the rear fenders - of it ends up you don't have to, all the better. Up front you will be fine and not rub.

Try it.

Is there sufficient threads on the studs to attach the wheel securely?
Do you feel confident with 80 pounds torque on a short stud?
How about driving with this set-up at 100 MPH?
