You can get the type with the pressed in studs if you do 15mm or is that going to be too thick for your goals?
I thought that pressed in studs kind was only for 25mm spacers and thicker?? at least that's what H&Rs spacers are like, and yeah with a 25mm it would look like a tractor truck

What would be the proper procedure in replacing the studs "safely"?
thanks
You need a press to do this properly. You will also need to remove the knuckle.

I just replaced all of my front wheel studs a couple of weeks ago.

you're talking about 15mm and 20mm which you can buy with built in studs
Where/which ones? i know for a fact Built in studs on H&R spacers only come in their 25mm and Higher! I'm looking for 15mm at most maybe 20mm but I'm not sure that might be too much

camber specs are just one part of the equation... if for example i see your setup and say holy crap thats cool... and the same sizes roughly but didn't realize that i couldn't do that without a crap load of camber, perhaps that person doing it can't afford to do that much camber and now they've got a setup that they can't use.

shitty example I know, but i think u can see where I'm going with it... if someone is trying to gain a certain look to the stance, the camber setting is an integral part of that equation... right now i've got really weak fitment on my ghetto wheels, i'm trying different spacers/camber settings to get it to work how i'd like...

if I had exact specs to all these things, i would know exactly what size spacer i need therefore buying only ones set, and only have to get ONE alignment lol
