Default Volk and/or spacer guru's - quick question

Right now I'm running 15mm Type I Ichiba spacers all around (installed the extended studs).

I would like to bump my wheels out another 5mm using a 20mm Type II spacer.

Now here's the question. Will my Volk SF-Winning's allow this? As in - I know the original extended studs from the 15mm Type I will stick out a little, through the Type II's. Are the cavities on the back part of the Volk wheels deep enough to allow this, or am I going to have to grind down the Type I's studs?


Here is an image/example of what i'm trying to describe, only the below image are Stock/OEM studs, and I have Ichiba Type I 15mm extended studs...



My guess is no, it wont work... that the extended studs are going to be too long and the Volks wont bolt down tight, but please advise...

Thanks!

Those hollow tuner lugs, with no ends where you can see through them. I think you can use them on studs that overly long

I'm not sure you guys are getting what I'm asking. In short, I want to know if the Volk's cavities (cavities between lug nut/stud holes) are deep enough to accommodate the Ichiba extended studs.

Again though, the studs are from the Ichiba 15mm Version I kit, and I'm trying to put the Type II 20mm kit 'over' them...

understand what I'm trying to describe?

Get a ruler, measure the current stud length, do the math needed for the new spacer and the delta change in exposed stud length. Measure your Volks. I am sure no one has done this before lol

you might just have to check for yourself by taking off the wheels and seeing for yourself because not all wheels are the same. i ran 20mm type II ichibas on the stock studs with no problem but im not sure how they'll fit on your 15mm extended studs. i dont think you will run into any problems but you should check beforehand just to make sure.
