I ran OEM stock studs with 5mm spacers...was good...never had any issue...just make sure you torque each lug.

I would think using 5mm studs with 10mm spacer should be ok as well.

Your stock studs only allow for a 7mm spacer to be used max. Anything more than that and you should definitely use a longer stud. When you change the studs don't forget to torque your lug nuts again after the first 10 miles.

Ahhh yah I read wrong... thought you didn't have extended studs but that extra 5mm should be cool. Just torque the lugs.
