caliper has nothin to do with studs! the spoon caliper will bolt tight up without modification and will clear the wheel, and u can put a foot long stud on it if u like.

spacers to clear the caliper... and longer studs so i can still torque the lug nuts down to specs... without stripping the bolt....

theres plenty of pics but i cant find any, but spacers arent needed because they clear the wheels fine.

Spoon calipers will not clear the stock wheels without spacers....I just don't know how thick you need.
