general rule is you need ~15mm to clear 2LS brakes.

go with either H&R or Ichiba spacer sets w/extended studs, or bolt ons.

ahh thanks for that never knew that,,, yea im looking at the ichiba set but im still concerned with the extended studs should i go 45mm stub (which is made for 15mm spacer) but enough that the bolt can bit to or just get 20mm studs (which are made for 20mm spacers)

go with the londer studs as you may want to flush it out later and do a 20mm spacer...my opinion +25 offset is not that extreme or you cn go with bolt on 25mm spacers with built in studs to get it really flush.
