Spacers & Extended Studs - going from 15mm to 20mm

I currently have 15mm Ichiba v1 spacers up front with the included extended studs installed. I want to move to 20mm spacers, but do I need to change out the studs again? Are the 20mm spacer studs longer than the 15mm spacer studs? Anyone know?

Thanks.

all 25mm spacers are bolt on, so the longer 15mm studs will extend past the spacer. it will depend on if the wheels have a space between the stud holes.

20 mm ichiba spacers are thinner than the 25's and thus the original studs on your hubs will stick out a bit... So long as there is enough space in the indentations between the spacers studs for the original hub studs to fit, you're in good shape.

wow... seems like no one has any idea what you're trying to ask hahah but you're in luck.. i know exactly what you're saying...

you're saying "you have extended wheel studs that came with the 15mm ichiba spacers...you pressed those in your hubs already... but now you wanna put on 20mm ichiba spacers.. and you wanna know if the extended studs that came with 15mm kit that you pressed in already are long enough to accomdate the 20mm spacers right??"

well the only answer i got for you, is probably not the greatest lol, but i was told by someone at discount.. as long as you can get 7 full turns on your lugs.. you will be fine

Maybe I'm not thinking about it correctly but...wouldn't you be more concerned that the extended studs from the 15mm spacers might be too long for the 20mm spacers? If so, wouldn't they protrude past the new spacer and contact the pad of the wheels?
