flush with stock wheels. with Stud installation.
using H&R trax wheels spacers part #3025560 . these are 15mm and include longer studs. this setup will push your wheels out nicely.
front studs are easy to install but on the back you can only get the longer stud in at a certain position. here is the hub position on the back to get the studs in. to get them in you will need a tube or 2 big nuts that slide over the stud. use a lug nut and tighten the stud in. use a big socket on the center nut to stup the hub rotating. and finished . easy 30 min. spacers and studs are around 130 per pair. |

Thanks for posting! I usually use a stack of washers instead of the nuts. Same result, but washers are probably easier to find.

Are the spacers hub-centric?

NO.
Washers aren't machined to nearly the tolerances required to keep the wheel straight, not to mention you wont have sufficient threads for the nut to hold on to. Using a stack of washers is a great way to watch as a wheel races your car and wins. |

Hence the above...
Actually, even if washer stacks were identical height to a c-hair, and lug studs were long enough, they would still be a very very VERY bad idea for other reasons as well. The stack would allow the wheel to move radially and the lug studs would see a lot of bending load. So, to be sure, I'll add a j/k note above^^^ |
