KICS Project wheel spacer
I'm trying to install the Stoptech BBK and I'm running into clearance problem so I'm thinking to use a set of the Kics Project wheel spacer/stud install on them already but how do they work???? do you have to take off the stock wheel stud????

not 100% sure but looks like a hub adaptor....meaning it connects using your stock bolts but the wheel mounts on the adaptors bolts.

Check this site out. You'll understand roo said. It also depends on how thick of an adapter you use. They usually comwhat e w/ shortened lugnuts so they won't protude too much past the spacer if any at all.

The KICS spacers work like this: The spacer that has the studs in them, so the complete spacer goes over the existing studs. The differece is that the nuts that bolt the hub on are basically countsersunk. So when you bolt the spacer on it sinks right into the spacers so its flat. And if you look close you will see 4 little holes drill in the bolts, they give you a special Lugnut spacer that has these hardened 4 Pins the same size of the holes in the bolts to loosen and tighten the bolts. The only thing that will get the Bolts on and off is that special adapter they give you. Hope I explained that clearly

I hope you know running a spacer kit is a band-aid/temporary solution as opposed to getting proper offset/specification wheels. If you really need to run spacers, I'd recommend/suggest the H&R spacer kits instead.
In every spacer kit, you get a set of high tensile hardened replacement wheel studs which are significantly more durable and can withstand more punishment vs. factory studs and forged magnesium spacers which weigh almost next to nothing, does not corrode and will not increase due stress when replaced with the supplied studs. You finish off by running a set of open ended lugs, you can choose from generic ones to high end duranium JDM ones.
