Default Wheel Spacer help

I just ordered the Project Kics 10mm wheel spacer. I'm just wondering how it'd work. I'm sure I won't have problems with the 15mm wheel spacer. But won't the stock lugs stick out from 10mm wheel spacer? Will my rims be flat even on the 10mm wheel spacer? or will I have to cut a little bit off the stock lugs to make it shorter so that my rims sticks on the wheel spacers perfectly.

I assume these are the spacers with the installed lugs. Then the problem of cutting the lugs depends on your wheel design. Some wheels have cutouts on the back and they will seat perfectly with the lugs sticking through the spacer. If your wheels are flat, you may have to cut the lugs. Stock lugs are just under 25 mm long 25 mm spacers fit perfectly with no problems. You might have been better off buying spaces without built in lugs and simply installing longer lugs. That would probably have been easier than cutting.

Just return them and get some quality spacers from Eibach or Ichiba.

Depends on the wheel. Not all have the pockets on the back to accomodate your stock studs.
