....You might want to look into getting an alignment .those tires are dead.
Getting new tires is on my "to do list."

So you had enough thread left on the stock studs with a 20mm spacer??

I didnt bolt the wheel to the stock studs.
I used this kind of spacer, the studs are built into the spacer.

you dont need extended studs with bolt-on spacers. alignment will not get affected by putting spacers on. do a 30mm in the rear and youre set.
another idea to consider is to get a pair of TT rears and put them on the front. it will look almost as flush as your current pics without any spacers. it wont be staggered but you can run a nice fat tire all around.

Here's a video that shows how the bolt on spacers are installed

I picked them up from a local member, but he purchased them from Ichiba.
Here, I found a company selling them.

The ones on ebay are questionable in their quality.

Looks good! If you need an alignment it's because of the lowering not the spacers.
