Just wanted to check and verify if this is a good idea or not. At the moment my tires are rubbing up against the car and i need spacers. My friend suggested to get nismo studs and 15mm spacers just to make the wheels flush and to end the rubbing. My other friend said that it may cause too much stress on the studs. I was wondering if I were to get the nismo studs and 10mm spacers on and semi heavy wheels on would that be ok? NOTE: i also go to the track and plan to go drifting with the spacers on occasionally. Thanks for the help.

Spacers usually isn't a good idea but searching would be a better idea... ok, fine, I'll say something... First off, if you want to get spacers (last resort) get some H&R's from http://www.optauto.com/webstore/. They seem to be the only place to carry them. They are hubcentric spacers meaning the stress is put on the centric hub and not the studs. They are $96 dollars per set (1 set equals 2 spacers) but well worth it. Don't go cheap and get some from Pepboys like I did. I have the H&R's now and they couldn't be any better.
