Default rear wheels spacers

I need to buy some wheel spacers for my rears and wanted some help. I need 6-10mm depending on a few variables. I need to know a few pieces of info:

1. whats the biggest wheel spacer I can fit without having to replace the wheel studs?

2.What are some good companies that offer high quality spacers?

3. If I must replace the wheel studs, can the studs be trimmed to accommodate the closed ended lug nuts I have right now?

I don't think many people are using spacers, so it's going to be hard to find anyone with first hand experience. Comptech use to list spacers for the S2000. Suggest you contact them and ask whether or not you'll need longer studs, and if so, how much longer. If you get the right stud length you won't have any problem with the closed end of the lugnut.

5mm is the widest i would recommend if you dont want to replace the studs. make sure to use a hubcentric spacer so theres no vibration.
