i think the h and r spacers are the premium spacers. made in germany mag/alum alloy. they come with exrended lugs which would be the safe way to go. some people use existing lugs but do not have much lug thread to hold the wheels on. you may want to look at project kics products they make spacers that do not require extended lugs. costly but your wheels wont fall off. lol
good luck and lmk if you want my h and r 's they are safe as they get but require pulling the hubs to install.

I will also be rolling fenders and relocating the tabs and keeping the stock tire sizes until they wear out. Below is the exact look I'm trying to achieve before I order wheels. If anyone can provide a link of the exact spacers I'd need that would be great. Looking on eBay, Amazon and Evasive's site shows a million different spacers.
what you linked will fit the rear perfect but will not fit the front. no it will not need extended studs.
brands like h&r, project kic and others make high quality spacers. option selects were an eBay brand that made good spacers for the money. they also made unique size like 17mm and 28mm. but I don't think they are available anymore.
you should only purchase hub centric spacers.
the set up you pictured is pretty aggressive. that gonna require rolled fenders front and rear.

Those of you who have been running spacers for a while, how are they holding up? What kind of life can I expect with spacers?
I've been running H&R 20mm front and Ichiba 25mm rears for the past 5 years/60k miles. Normal street/spirited driving. Never tracked.
