Definitely go with the extended studs if you're going to go with spacers PJ. The built in studs aren't as durable.

I'd go with H&R spacers too. They are more expensive than the rest, but its worth it for the quality. Don't want to cheap out on something that could endanger your life if broken.

^ The ones with the built in studs are more susceptible to having the studs snap right off. I've seen it happen to a few people. The last thing you want is studs breaking off while your driving, just might lose a wheel!

Here's an example from CL even..

Another CL member who would recommend you not use any wheel spacers >10 mm :
