Default wheel spacer help!

hello s2ki wheel guru's

i have mugen mf10s in standard s2k spec. +52 frnt +59 rear and am contemplating running spacers for more of a flush look. i DO NOT want to run extended studs. i came across spacers that come with built in studs, by kics and ichiba. my plan is to run a 10mm spacer frnt and 15mm spacer rear.
the big question is WILL THESE CLEAR THE STOCK STUDS and work with my mugen wheels?
heres a pic of the spacers with built in studs


heres a back pic of the wheels for reference.

From the look of it, your wheels don't have a deep enough recess to fit the stock studs especially with a 10mm spacer. The stock studs would stick out of the spacer about 13mm in front and 8mm in the rear.

jared, the slots in the back of mf10 doesn't not have enough clearance for a 10/15mm spacers. you'll need a 25mm spacers to clear.

Bump,

I was thinking about using spacers too (5mm) w/o extended studs. Which spacers did you end up using jared and do you have any pics? I thought you had NSX spec mf10's

11 year old thread and Jared hasn’t been active since last year.

The only options here are run extended studs for either a 10 or 15mm spacer or run larger spacers that have the studs and can clear the wheel which will be pushing into the needing rolled fenders territory. Or buy different wheels.

thank you for the reply. On the back of the wheel, looks there is some space..thinking if the 15mm will clear?

Unless they drastically changed the wheels with these new batches I would assume the above is still true.
