Had a few unedited snaps of your car from the meet

Did you have any problems with running spacers?
I noticed the total rotations on my lugnuts decreased after putting my 18x8 and 18x8.5 wheels on. And the only reason I havnt put spacers is the fear that I would need extended studs if I did so.

Eh not worth the effort imo.
That requires pulling that rotors and possibly the hub to get the new studs in iirc.
ive got more important things to worry about

you don't need to pull the hub to swap the studs. I can do the front of one of these cars in about 20minutes with the right ($20) tool and an impact wrench.

Yes, I purchased the bolt on hubcentric spacers. All of the 15mm + spacers are like that, that I saw. You need to replace your studs or get bolt on spacers if you feel your lug nuts are not screwing on right. 8mm on stock studs is pushing it imo.
