Spacers? Aggressive fitment inside :)
I want to push the limits a little more until I can figure out if I am keeping this car and going with new wheels. It's just my daily, and I drive it literally every single day but now I wish I went more aggressive then I already did.
Basically my question is, for those running spacers out there are you running studs also? On my wrx I ran custom milled 15mm hub centric spacers so I NEEDED ARP studs. I found that H& R makes a kit for 10mm and includes studs seen here:

Problem is, I don't think I can do a 10mm in front. Would I be able to get away with a 5mm spacer up front with stock studs? Is anyone doing it currently? For the rears, I may do a 3mm-5mm, depending on how the front sits. Right now, the front sits flush but I want a little more poke to it to match the 11JJ rears.
19x9.5/19x11 **secret offsets**

yea but how can we tell you if it works or not if you keep the wheel specs secret? AND~ you gonna drive in 4x4 mode? achieving the perfect fitment doesn't mean how far out you can push the tires, its about how far out yet still not have any gap and tuck part of the tire WHILE not messing the fender in a turn... many have tried and many have had and still have to fix fenders... anyone can be aggressive but to do so while tucked and no rat eaten looking fenders is the holy grail.

I know what works in my head, and I am not asking what size spacer I can go with. I am asking if I can run a 5mm on stock studs. lol If I go 10mm, I know I need studs.
My car is also tucking tire. I posted pics of it pre-alignment.
The car does not rub at all! I have the rears pulled/fronts pulled and front tabs complete gone with custom brackets the body shop made me. I wasn't trying to be cocky, I just don't want to share offsets because others on here do not. When I asked for helped and talked specs, people said it couldn't be done. It's on my car and I am slammed, so I think I did just fine. haha

I actually wanna get rid of this car for a E92 m3 because if I keep it, I know I am going to go buy a gtr and I don't need that right now LOL

Thanks man! Any brand spacers you run? wheeladapter.com does custom milled one hubcentric to the wheels/hub but they're $160. I just wanna throw some 5mms on that are designed for lexus hubs if I can.
I probably don't, but I am just bored lol. I know it will look better if I do though.
Check out the front, it can come out a little IMO!
maybe a tinnnnnyyy bit in the rear also.
and side it doesnt look bad but maybe I can go lower, but only if it doesnt rub. I would hate that everyday lol
Done deal! haha I want to go wider/lower offset. I think I can turn this 4.75" rear lip into a 5.5+
