spacer question

i picked up a set of 18x8 +44mm offset and i want to get spacers to make it sit flush with the body. with 10mm spacers will i need longer studs? i was told that 7mm is the bare minimum on stock studs. what are youre guys' recommendations?

hmm thats what i thought. thanks JSutter.

if i get 15mm spacers/studs in the rears will it rub? its gonna be like a 29 offset... eek.
or should i just stick with the 10mm all around?

Stop guessing. Take 2 plumb bobs and hang one on the inside of the fender lip, then hang the other on the inner fender tub. Then place a straight edge on the hub, then you can measure your offset and backspace.

I only use 5mm spacers on stock studs. Anything larger definitely need longer studs
