Default my wheel spacers won't fit

So I recently purchased 2 sets of 10mm Project Kics spacers. These are the ones that have built in studs.

The rears went on smoothly but we could not get the front wheels to mount back on because the original bolts were sitting too far out and hitting the wheel.

From what I have been told I have to get extended studs and a spacer that doesn't have them built in.

I have 18" CE28N Wheels and ENDLESS brakes on the front.

Any advice or anyone have a similar issue?

I thought only 25mm spacers had built in studs.

At least the fronts are an easy install when you have to change lugs out.

what you were told sounds like the best solution. get longer studs and spacers without studs.

Im gonna say nismo brand spacers would cost more...the spacers being used wont effect their stability or ability to be installed. If hes offerin' take it man.

Press the studs from your spacers , and get longer studs for your car. Its that easy, then never buy kics crap again.
