Yup, those are a must. They come with the spacers. You'll have to change the original wheel studs to the new extended wheel studs.

Even that is pushing it. IMO I would never go more than 3mm without getting longer studs. Chico and I spoke about this a while back and I think he feels the same.

I did run with 5mm spacers without longer studs for 2 or 3 month. I do not advise anyone doing this b/c it is extremly dangerous. I was lucky and caught it b4 my rims fell off and ordered a kit that came with longer studs. A friend of mine did the same thing and was only going to run 5mm spacers for a few weeks till he ordered longer studds and less then a week in his front rim fell off while he was making a turn. He was going under 5-10mph so their was only cosmetic damages.

SO GET EXTENDED STUDS! Its worth it

So with those m45 rims, would you advise the 5mm or 10mm spacers? or 5 up front, 10 in rear (like others mentioned) Only reason I ask is because your car is the only car I've seen them on so far. These will be the rims I get !!

I'd go 15mm spacers if you want an aggressive offset, plus you can use spacers with the built in studs.

I would personally go 10mm.. I have 15mm spacers right now with my current rims and have had problems with the way they bolt on to the hub.

I kinda had the same question. But I gather from this, they are sold together.

I got my extended studs with the spacers, from what i know they normally come with the spacers. Try going with the bigger companies like Ichiba, H&R, Eibach, Project Kics (they all come with the extended bolts)
