Safe to run 10mm spacers with 5mm extended studs?
i have a 5mm spacer kit and i am using the extended studs they came with..but question is...can i throw on a 10mm spacer safely without changing the studs to accommodate the extra 5mm? pulled my fender a lil too much so now i need spacers to be flush again

My 10mm and 15mm spacers from Ichiba have the same length studs. So maybe you can. What LOLTHXkBYE said is right. If you get 7 turns it should be fine. Make sure the wheels are hubcentric or run hubcentric rings if you run a lot of camber because that stresses the studs if they're not.

Rides fine until your studs break off.
I think if the 5mm spacer was hubcentric it wouldn't be as bad. But with Ichiba spacers, the 5mm spacer will be too much for the stock studs because there is no hub ring.
It's even worse when your car is low with that much camber. Just get extended studs.
