i suggest you get the hubcentric spacers with the extended lugs. look on ichibausa.com or google it. ive had a bad experience with slip on spacers from my wheel almost coming off to broken studs. They dont hold as well as the hubcentric with extended lugs. ive had my hubcentric spacers on for a 6 months now with no issues.
but its really up to you on what you want.

The ones i posted are hub centered for a 66.06mm hub(size i need) but do not come in 12mm/.5" as i need.
Another person i know said to grind the studs off a bolt on and run the spacer bolted to the same lugs as the rin since i have the long nismo studs.

there you go JET.... ya thats a better idea... milling down some 15's... any local machine shop could do that...
I would have them mill down from the face though...you wouldnt want to remove from the back...doing that would kill bearing area on your studs (thickness for load transfer).

plus you wouldnt need to grind them off...you could press them out...but still....Jet's idea of milling down some 15mm spacers is the best option in my opinion....then again 15mm verus 12mm....humm i would find it hard to tell the 3mm difference...

295 on all 4 corners is great! If I was limited in my rear, I would have run that...instead I run F295, R315's.
I love how a square tire set-up handles...very neutral.

Well i found what i will use
those simple slip on itchiba spacers with the hub centric ring.
Makes sense to pay slightly more and not have any god aweful vibrations later on down the road.

3mm means pulling the fenders that much more.

Maybe if you contact Ichiba , they could make them for you!!

Maybe he needs that for brake caliper clearance? If so, 2mm can make a big difference. With my Maya RT5 wheels, I had literally 1mm of clearance. With my PIAA SuperRozza wheels, I had maybe 3mm of clearance.
