Mackin industries retailers of volk rims have kics spacers. They have the lugs built into the spacer.

project kiks or ichiba.

unfortunately the thinnest adapter available is ~15mm.

if you really just want extended studs, to run say a 5-10mm spacer, you can use the ARP studs made for the IS300.

those project kics aren't hub centric without spending the extra ~$50 on rings. if you're looking for 20mm+ i would go h&r or eibach. if you are looking for <20mm pressed stud type then the kics might be the best bet (w/ ring). ichiba also makes <20mm with studs, but their studs are on the soft side from what i understand. also, the <20mm studded type only work with certain wheels with clearance on the pad.

kics makes a 10mm pressed stud spacers, but the wheel pad clearance issues apply. adapters change lug patterns.

You can get cheap ones at Advance Auto Parts too; it's where I got mine. Some tire shops can order them as well. I needed 1/8" spacers: $20 for two from Advance and $32 for "tuner lug nuts" from AutoZone.

Yeah, I called my local store and they said it wasn't something they stocked, but could custom order through a supplier. They ordered mine (wrong size, though), had it in a week (after they spent four days forgetting to order it).

In the end, my tire shop ordered them :P
