wheel spacer problem: 25 or 30 mm?

i just picked up some new rims and the rears really need some spacers. one problem though. the hub is not situated to accommodate spacers. i mean they DO NOT look like this:



basically, my wheels do not have those squarish holes. so... i was asking which size spacer will be enough so that my original bolt will be at least flush with the spacer and that no part of it will stick out? here's a picture. i want the bolts circled in red to be flush with the spacer. do i get a 25 mm or 30 mm?

if the original stud is longer than 30mm than u are best to go with spacers with extend studs. those are the way to go in the first place

Stock studs are just shy of 25mm, so you can go with either one, depending on which one will look better.

Just installed Ichiba V2 25mm spacers on the rear wheels last night and I'm pretty sure the stock studs do no protrude past the plane of the spacer.
