I haven't noticed a wobble or anything like that so I'm pretty sure I installed them correctly.
This is what I was talking about, the stock wheels have pockets specifically designed to house the stock studs(Because they protrude past the surface of the spacer), meaning no cutting is necessary. I think cutting is only necessary (or longer studs) is when the spacer is just the spacer, no studs built into it.

I forgot to update you all,
I got all 4 spacers on with no issues whatsoever, the stance looks a lot better now. Also to add to that, the handling characteristics seem to have been altered too, In a good way. The car feels much heavier during turns if that makes sense. Probably because of the widened space between the wheels. Here are some pics! (It rained all day in PHX so i had a little fun with all the drift lube on the ground) Sidenote: ignore my nasty rims, the appointment to have them powdercoated has been made for friday!
