Exclamation Info NEEDED on Akata Spacers?!

Wsup, for quite some time I've been searching everywhere for Spacers. Specifically 10mm with integrated studs since I test fitted 15mm and it would require me to run more than -7 degrees of camber which I wasn't willing to do.
Anyways long story short I thought the only set of spacers with integrated studs were the Project Kics, but the problem is they weren't hubcentric, but I found this brand called Akata and they come with 10mm with integrated studs and also hubcentric..

Does anyone here have any info, experiences, advice about these spacers?
Btw these are made by Vossen Wheels
They price isn't bad either it's only $80 shipped brand new which is really cheap

Is is safe to run? or I shouldn't bother. I remember seeing some members on Acurazine run these and numerous other forums
Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I'm planning on purchasing in 2 days

Do a google search on Akata spacers and you'll get all the reviews you need.

Sorry 'bout that as I called up Akata reviews and saw them mentioned on many forums, but it was an introduction of the Akata spacers to the forums, not reviews. Guess I'd better look closer next time.

I wrote that review...they are on my girl's 8th gen accord for over 6 months now without issue. Just make sure you have a thin walled 21 MM to torque it down.
I have not seen anything less than 15MM in type II spacer though with incorporated studs. I don't think a 10 is thick enough to hide the bolts. But you can't be THAT tight with only 5 more MM. IF you're going to have to run -7 camber then at 15MM you'll run -6 or so?
Offset on your wheels must be SUPER aggressive!

It will be +5 if I add the 10mm spacer

then there's that...you're running about 1.5 more negative camber than me and you're running 20MM less tire width too. That'll allow plenty of clearance!

He was over on V6peee saying he saw some spacers over on Azine, and a guy told him to make a thread over here.

So I was telling him I see you made a thread over here..

Gotcha! Thanks!
OP, Up for what?!? You haven't found the info you're looking for? Honestly, we can crunch numbers all day about what is possible and what isn't...I have not seen a type 2 10MM spacer with built in studs from akata. I think they only have 15 and 20MM type 2's. About whether or not it'll fit, looking at your exact setup now, you'd be the only one to know whether or not you'll clear the fenders. No?!

IMO...I'd leave it at is...
