You do not need wheel spacers. They can be used to dial in wheel fitment or to add clearance for bigger brakes when needed.

I wouldn't a spacer until you research and can make an informative decision on your own.


As far as your question about the wheel studs. Thin bolt on spacer will leave the wheel stud poking out which can contact the back of the wheel. The factory wheels have pockets that can accomodate this but most wheels do not.

Edit I just realized you were looking at a widebody. The link wasn't working for me intially.

Wait until you have the car and can take measurements with the kit tacked on. No sense in wasting money when you don't know what you need.
