Default Bolt on Spacer Fit OEM Studs?

Quick question. Was wondering if you guys think that the studs would clear this. I measured the depth and it's about 15mm. Our studs are 25mm long and I want to run a 15mm or 20mm. So it would only poke out about 5-10mm. Just wanted to be sure and not waste money on the wrong spacer.

Wait what exactly are you asking? Are you trying to use spacers with these wheels and asking if it will work? If so, yes but you will want to either get spacers with built in studs, or get some extended studs to replace your oem ones as you definitely DO NOT want to run spacers without extended or built in studs. As far as what size of spacer, give us the wheel specs and what kind of look you are going for/lowered/how aggressive

Don't buy bolt an spacers. Simple and easy, do it right with extended studs.

I'm asking if a bolt on spacer setup will work with this wheel. The rear is 19x11 +20 on a 255/35/19. Decently aggressive I'm already pretty low but not slammed and maybe run like around -3.0 camber in the rear.

bolt on spacers with built in studs is perfectly safe if it's torqued down correctly.

They don't make a 5mm bolt on, it's to small. Are you saying that your running a 5mm slip on spacer on stock studs?

Agreed, I had mine for over 2 years with multiple autox days and not 1 issues.

I even leave them on when I put my winter wheels on.

Get h&r or eibach spacers, they're great quality and won't fail you if installed properly.

A cheaper alternative is Z1 spacers. They have been perfect for me.

Just make sure you don't get universal spacers and also make sure the spacers are hubcentric

I run 5 mm HUB CENTRIC spacer on the front with stock studs..ZERO problem.

I see no problem running bolt on spacers either..especially if you don't track the car.

+1 to Z1 spacers.

Then run slip on for 20mm and less.

The key to spacer safety is torquing them down correctly. I run a dangerous amount of spacer so I won't recommend it. But, I've run 20mm for years with no issue.
