Most guys have been running 5mm spacers and longer studs on the front to clear, and some run the same in the back just to push the wheel out a bit.
If you do a search on this site you will find lots of info about it.

Spacers are needed to fix your problem.

Search for the other guys who have them and ask what they did. I can't remember if they used 5mm or 10mm. I think you could use the stock studs on a 5mm spacer.

depending on what size tire you are running a 5mm or 1/4 inch spacer will fix the problem in the front.

rears shouldn't be a problem at all... just direct fit/bolt-on...

front requires spacers.... i have cheapie 3/16 inch spacers in front and they barely clear..... i left the rear as is... will be installing the full set of h&r 5mm spacers and extended studs all-around next week.

I really wanted to put m35 wheels on too..just dont wanna use spacers. They cant be good for the car. If i leased it, I probably would, but this baby is financed and dont wanna run a risk. I think they look sweet on a G..but they prob weigh a ton, not sure. Good luck and PLEASE post pics when done!

Don't cheap out on the 5mm spacers get 15mm spacers, those are hubcentric and you don't need to replace your OEM studs since those spacers bolt on to your OEM studs and you use the new ones on the spacer.

Glad I sold my M45 sport wheels, it wasn't worth the effort and cost to put on a set of OEM wheels. I bought them at a amazing good price and got a nice return on them, so it was still worth my time....

I have these wheels sitting in my garage. I don't like how the 15mm stick out the wheel. It is under the fender but tooo close. 5mm definitely work but if you could wait a little longer... I found out the Ichiba is going to come out with a 10mm hubcentric spacer. I think this is going to be perfect. I put my car up on a hoist and tried the 5mm spacer... I think it' sto close to the suspension. It clears be less than a finger's width. So 10mm IMO will be the best way....
