Spacers and stock wheel studs
 
Will I need longer wheel studs if I added a 5mm spacer to my RPF1's?

It's easy to figure this out. Remove one lug nut and then count how many turns it makes to reach full tightness. Multiply this number by 1.25 and subtract 5. If the result is 12 or more, you're good to go.

Remember that wheel hub thickness varies from wheel to wheel so what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. If you come up short an alternative to longer wheel studs is ET lug nuts. These extended shank style nuts add roughly 5mm of thread engagement but are only available in limited colors and styles compared to std wheel nuts. Gorilla is a great source. Good luck.

No. I am running them on the rear of my frs with no issues. Anything above 5mm yes.
