if i were you, i wouldn't run 32mm. The max would be 25mm. The longer the stud, the more dangerous it gets.

I dont think the wider the spacer is the longer the bolt is. I believe they just drill the hole deeper in the backside and the bolt is the same length. But ya they further out it sits the more pressure on the studs.

i would think thats too far out and would put too much pressure on the studs. Be careful.
