Default Vossen wheel and spacer question?

Here is my issue I have V1 Ichiba 10mm spacers with the extended studs installed, can I use 15mm V2 bolt on Ichiba spacer with the longer studs or will I need to re-install my factory lugs to clear the wheel

It will depend on the back spacing of the wheels. More than likely, you'll have to reinstall the stock studs.

That's what I'm going to end up doing I was just trying to see if anyone has had this situation before that knew off hand, it's all going to depend how deep the pockets are on the back off the wheel the longer studs aren t much longer than the factory ones

I tried one this afternoon and it worked fine with room to spare the rear may be a different story considering the different offset and smaller backspacing I only tried the front

Why not just sell both and buy a 25mm V2 spacer?

Ohhh ****, sorry I thought you wanted to add the 15mm to the 10mm equaling 25mm!

Do your wheels have openings in the back? If they do, those are made to run spacers. So if you do have holes. Then yes you'll be fine.
