I made a cardboard stencil, then used it to cut a couple pieces of vinyl. Applied the vinyl and used that to cut around.

No. I still have the spacer on. It measures about 7.5mm after checking it out. Once installed I have a little over 14mm of thread engagement. Since the amount of engagement is more than the diameter of the stud I should be fine. BUT... all that being said, I plan to pull some camber out ASAP and go to a 3-5MM spacer. The upside doesn't outweigh the downside.
I have checked the lugs and they have not started to loosen. I have also pulled the wheels multiple times to make sure the threads are not wearing from vibrations caused by the lack of thread engagement and both sides show no wear. I have about 500 miles since the spacers have been installed.

there is a reason why people say that 8mm is too much..
all that measuring and checking cannot prevent you from "shit happens" type of situations. The direction you are heading is good.. keep up the good work.. and probably lower the car just half an inch more.. it will look clean..

Well, I guess I better start a thread. I bought the car in the fall with about 41k on it and decided it would be best to wait until spring for the mods. Spring is close enough so parts are showing up.
The car came with black grill and rear bumper trim and was virtually mint. I wanted a AWD, but couldn't find one in this condition anywhere near me. So I picked it up.
Over the winter I found a set of coilovers and couldn't pass them up.
I pulled apart the headlights and had them painted.
The OE lip kit showed up a couple of days ago and if everything goes well it will be on the car this weekend.
I went with Rohana RC7 wheels. 20x10 +37. My favorite person (UPS guy) visited me today with them
Tomorrow I am having the tails tinted red. I still have to work out a rear camber kit and decide after fitting the wheels if I want to run a spacer and if so, how big.
