I wouldn't waste my time with 10mm spacers. You should get longer studs if you do that.

You will need the longer lug studs because you're spacing the wheels out. You won't have enough threads to safely run those wheels.

IMO just leave it as is.

also, if you DO plan to get spacers, don't worry about hubcentric ones. our cars don't use hubcentric wheels/lugs, no need to get hubcentric spacers or wheels.

if thats the case, I will definitely pass on this mod, I was hoping that I can just bolt these on to the enkei's and be done with it (i had spacers on the stock wheels so I figured it would be the same with aftermarket as well) but if I have to get longer studs then it is just not worth it for me. thank you for all of the input sol

Just get the regular spacers. Why would you go through all that trouble to widen it by 10mm? It'll save you time and you can remove it whenever.

Op: what spacers did you have before? I have some 25mm ones that have studs built in. The ones you posted seem like the same idea. The problem is that the stock studs will hit the back of your wheel when you try to mount it. You may have to cut the ends off the stock studs.

brand wise, I could not even tell you because I bought them from a member on this site( i believe mugenfit). They were 20mm spacers with the studs already installed, but they were on my stock wheels, so they just bolted right on to the hub without having to do any mods to the existing studs etc.

now i have enkei wheels with a 45mm offset and I just wanted to go a little wider in the rear without having to buy new wheels, so I figured spacers are the way to go, but if i have to get longer studs or do any other mods then it is just not worth it for me. I was hoping that spacers like project kics, etc or any other spacers that have the studs already installed would just bolt on to my enkei's without any issues, but I guess because the enkeis are 45mm as opposed to the stock 53mm(I believe) would require me to get longer studs

The problem is that your oem studs would stick out a lot with 10mm spacers that have studs already in them

Well, maybe the wheels will have some room for the studs. Like how some wheels have eight holes for 4 bolted lugs and 4 pass through studs.

The second set of holes are for a different lug pattern. i. e. 4x100/4x108
