The holes on the spacers is where your old studs go.

I'd be weary of 10mm with pressed in studs. There was a member who had 10mm with studs and it pretty much tore off the hud since it was so thin.

I understand that much....ok, if i was to slap on the spacers

1. The wheel wont sit flush because the old stud is poking out. Wont sit flush. Thats one of my concerns.

2. I understand the when the studs are seperate and you would have to install studs onto the hub slap on spacers. Ok studs are connected with my suspension etc etc

however, when spacers come with studs already on them, putting them on then putting the wheel locks on them has no connection with my suspension. Mind as wheel roll my rim and spacer attached to it down the road. Please exuse my way of understanding. Im sure its flying right over my head.

If your rims don't have pockets for the studs then you will have cut/shave them.

....im kinda lost with what where youre getting at.

for the most part, the holes on the 10mm spacers is where the old studs go through. the old studs are then locked in with bolts provided with the spacers (should be provided). the old studs for the most part wont sit flush with the spacers, itll be sticking out a bit. your wheels should have those little indents type of holes or gaps next to the stud holes behind the wheels. those little indents type of holes is where the old studs will go through thus making your wheels sit perfectly onto the spacers when bolted on.

hope that helps...
