Question Wheel Spacer Question

Has anyone installed 25mm spacers on a widebody and if so did you need to install longer studs? I'll be using aluminum lug nuts.

I have factory spacers on my car, due to the fact it came with 17" wheels. The factory spacers bolt onto the existing bolts on the wheel hub -- more convenient than fitting spacers with longer bolts, particularly when switching out different wheel sizes.

Cars that came from the factory with 18's did not have spacers.

You should be able to fit those wheel sizes on the car without modifications, provided you get the correct offsets.
