Madspeed is running a 15MM in the back I believe with no issues on 245's. I like his setup but was just wondering what the best option would be.

15mm spacers on AP1 wheels in the back? He must not be running spacers with built in studs.

I have 20mm KICS spacers (with built in studs) and tried putting them on my JDM/EDM 5 spoke 16's. They have a little indention on the backside, but it's not enough to clear all of the stud. Unless the indention is more on the USDM wheel, you'd definitely have to run a 25mm spacer on AP1 wheel.

10mm on 215 245 is probably safe with some camber, but it's going to be a lot of work for barely any aesthetic "payoff". I don't think you'll be able to notice much of a difference. With 10mm studs you'd be forced to use extended studs front and rear correct.
