Question regarding spacers

I currently have a set of 17x7 Enkei pf01's on my car and wanted to run a 10mm spacer in the rear. My question is, do I have to run longer studs in order for this spacer to work on n aftermarket wheel? I was looking at these spacers, and on the bottom of the page it says you don't need to run longer studs because the spacers have them built in, but I get mixed results from everyone that I ask. A liitle clarification would b great. Thanks to anyone who can help.

The wheels will have to have indentations in the back for the stock studs to fit into as 10mm will not clear the stock studs.

Luckily for you, RPF01s have those indentations, so go ahead

Thank you for clearing that up. Do you think I will have rubbing issues? I am lowered on swiftsprings which is probably the most subtle drop out there. The wheels are a +45 offset, so technically they will be a 35 offset in the rear correct?

Should be fine, that is very conservative. There's lots of fitment threads on here detailing different setups, I believe the thread is even called "Rubbing: what works" or something to that effect.

sorry for the noob question, but these are the indentations you are talking about right? Next to the actual holes of where the lugs go.http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/p...G_0077copy.jpg

Well, after searching high and low for the kics 10mm spacers (nowhere to be found), I ended up buying ichiba v2 15mm spacers. I did not the 15mm because I will probably end up rubbing, but I found a reputable loca l guy thst does fender rolling, so if need be I will just have that done. I will post pics ehen its done
