do you have extended studs? i was under the impression that anything more than 10mm doesnt leave enough thread on oem studs

I am saving up for new wheels so once i get +38 offset wheels i will no longer need the spacers.

Well so far ive driven 1,000+ miles with the spacers on and i dont feel like they're gunna fall off or anything. I dont get any vibrations or anything. The spacers are hubcentric. Ive been driving the car pretty hard lately because of the swift springs and I'm not afraid the wheels will fall off.

17" wheels with slight stretch on tires. hopefully it doesnt look wierd on the slight drop i have. I'll upgrade to coilovers next year

just to clarify for those reading, if ur using slip on style spacers, you won't be able to put more than 10mm - good rule of thumb is at least 7 full turns on the stud. i believe with stock studs in the rear + 10mm is about 4-5 turns on the stud.
if you're using bolt on spacers (i used to use 15mm project kics) make sure the stud/nut youre using to hold the spacer down clears the back of the rim, or some rims (like rpf01's) have slots to clear studs when youre using bolt on spacers. anddd...stock lugnuts *will* work but you should really use conical lug nuts instead of acorn style nuts so the taper fits snug with the machined spacer. (usually those ebay spacers come with lug nuts to use anyways)
happy tuning!

+38 is flush with 17s?
