10mm spacers will not allow enough threading on OEM studs to securely mount your wheels.
Definitely need extended studs.

Besides being a general rule of thumb, it's also an SAE standard and a damn good rule to follow. Judging by the shorty oem lug nuts I'd estimate that there isn't much extra stud length for spacers. Not that people won't run spacers anyway and endanger themselves and everyone around them.

On my last car I had to run ET lug nuts just to get minimum thread engagement with aftermarket wheels because my wheels had a thicker than average hub. There were still morons running spacers with the oem studs.

Good luck with your setup.

Here is how the wheels sit after the car has been lowered.
Front:


Here are the Ichiba 25mm Version 2 Hubcentric Spacers. Simply bolt them on and torque them down to spec.


Here is how the wheels look AFTER the 25mm spacers installed.

Would tracking a set up like this be ok for the car?
Also, would you benefit off the 25mm spacers on a track?
I'm asking because I just ordered trd springs along with 25mm spacers for all around.
