It's not that my heart is set on them, I just own them already, so i'd like to use them if they fit the application. I'm trying to avoid swapping the studs 1. cause it's probably a pain in the a** and 2. just incase I ever switch to a different wheel, I don't want to end up with too long of studs
We'll see what happens when I fit the spacer, maybe I'll get lucky and the holes are recessed deep enough into the wheels that I can get a nice fit.

If you refer to my picture (the first one on the previous page), I have 45mm studs at the front, and those are stock Boxster 17" wheels. Pretty well any wheel you can get or would want to run has deep recesses for the lug nuts, and will hide the studs just fine. I could probably go to 60mm studs with a 7mm spacer and the studs would still be recessed, compared to the surface of the wheel. My plan is 52mm.
