Wheel spacer fitment
Hey, I am going to come across 8mm NON hub-centric spacers for my rear wheels. They do not come with extended lugs; should I be concerned? Can I get away with utilizing my stock lugs? I don't want to make this into a bigger project than it has to. Also, will my car ride like crap without hub-centric spacers?

you could install without extended studs.. but ude only have a few rotations on the lugs.. and ude die in the process of driving in the freeway 
dont do it. But some extended studs and play it safe!
regarding ride.. u might get vibrations if it isnt fully centered. since ill be lug centric rather than hub.

what up rock! I see the car's come a long way since I've been around last.
Having the studs put in by a tire shop shouldn't cost anything major man, and no more than a few hours. Or, you could get the spacers that bolt to your existing studs and have studs of their own to mount to the wheels (so long as you go with a quality brand). Then you also have the accountability of the shop that did it for you.
Now quit playing with your shoes and slap a snail on that bad boy!

I know, I know my damn SC kit is just sitting in my basement in bubble wrap. My wife and I just had our first baby about a month ago so I promised I would re-visit the major overhaul on my car next Spring. It's a long wait but it will be worth it!

What's up bro? How ya been? Thanks for the feedback and the reply in my "spark plug" thread in the performance section. Yeah, maybe I'll just bring it to the shop to get extended studs installed.

If you are putting on a 8mm spacer with OEM wheels I would say its should be no problem. Because of the way the stud holes are designed in the OEM wheels and a shank style lug nut, this makes it much easier to get more threads than a typical acorn style nut. Being that the spacer is 8mm and not hub-centric this means all the stress and weight will be on the studs alone and may vibrate so I do not recommended going this route
If you are using an aftermarket wheel which 99% use a acorn style nut I would say max is 5mm without using extended studs
