I was just gonna say, anything over 7 or so mm is getting too thick, you'll need to upgrade wheel studs. Upgrading wheel studs is NO easy task, expect to spend big bucks with NISMO.. at 8/ea, it can be rather expensive.

I have the longest NISMO wheel studs avail with custom spacers, front are 17 rear are 12mm.

You MAY want to consider machining a set of wheel adaptors, you'll runa different thread wheel stud/nuts/locks etc.. but hey, it MAY be cheaper in the long run.

I can tell you this much, DONT bother wasting your time on shitty quality spacers, adaptors, studs, etc. Using poor quality components and easily lead to small problems like wheel shimmy and warped rotors. Notice, those were the SMALL problems. I know people who's wheels have pulled the wheel adaptors apart.. totalling their cars.

Be careful what you buy.
