how do i run spacers?

so i am planning on putting spacers on my rear tires. which are 20x10 45mm offset. i want to put a 15 mm spacer in the back. but i noticed that the rear rims do not have the same slots in the rim that the fronts do. the slots im talking about are the ones that then stock studs would fit in when running a v2 spacer with built in studs.

so question is. how would i go about putting spacers in the rear since the stock studs would hit the back of the rims?

gotta get spacers that include separate extended studs and replace your oem studs with the longer ones. problem solved

really they make them that long? i knew the v1 spacers didnt come with built in studs but i didnt know they made extended studs that long. thats going to have to be almost an inch longer than stock wouldnt it?

do the v1 spacers come with extended studs?

umm I don't specifically have ichiba's, but I have Project Kic and HR spacers that are hubcentric with built in studs and both fit perfectly front or back... do you have any pics of the problem?

the problem is not the spacer itself.

the back of my rim. where it meets against the hub, on the fronts it has slots for the stock studs to come into and sit freely. then the new studs that are attached to the spacers would obviously go through the rims.

but on the back rims. those slots are not there. so the stock studs that WILL still out of the spacer a little bit. would be hitting the back of the rim. which would make it impossible to mount the rim.
