Wheel Spacers with Built-In studs, please advise.
I'm looking to put 5mm-10mm wheel spacers to my car for the looks and it's for daily driving, no track. The spacers I found have "built-in" studs on them, and 5 separate holes to bolt onto the wheel hub itself. Has anybody heard of this before and is it reliable compared with the regular spacers? I'm guessing it might more even more stress on the suspension components than the regular spacers, but correct me if i'm wrong, any advice is appreciated

I had a similar situation. But, unfortunately there are no spacers with built in studs for thickness less than 25mm. Regular 5 mm spacers will be fine as I had this setup on the rear before. But 10mm, I strongly dont recommend them as there are no grooves left for the wheels to hang on. I replaced all studs with longer ones to accomodate these.

i'm gonna try 5mm all around and see how the car looks. after installing Ingalls camber kit in the back, the control arms pulls the wheel hub a lot inward, so now the wheels are inboard a lot more than when I had SPC camber kit.

I'd steer clear of ANY spacers.
