Honestly, if you're looking at 20mm or more, you should probably be getting bolt on spacers anyway.

im not sure if the difference is so minimal that it wont matter, and ive been trying to read as much info as i can find the past week... but from ive read around so far, extended studs with sandwich spacers are "better" than bolt-on spacers.

reasons seem to be because for bolt-on spacers, the wheel bolts on to the new studs on spacer, and the spacer is bolted on the hub with original studs. this creates more "points" where it could fail? but for extended studs (especially arp studs being stronger) with sandwich spacers, there'd be less "points" where it could fail. am i understanding that wrong? or is it just negligible enough to not make a difference?

thanks
