After reading many threads, it seems that 3mm spacers can be simply slipped on without the need to use extended studs. The OEM lug nuts can be installed normally and everything will be fine. Is this correct?

It seems that the hub extends 10mm to accept the wheel. After 3mm is taken by the spacer, only 7mm is left. Then how 'thick' is the wheel where it is mounted to the hub? Just curious.

There are two choices on Amazon. First a cheaper one, $7.5 for a pair

next one is $17 for 2.

I am confused why the 2nd is more expensive (and maybe better)?

Thanks for any advice!
