Default Spacer Help

I apologize ahead of time for so many questions, but I figured this is one of the best places for gaining knowledge.

I have 17 x 7.5 +48 RG2's on my s2000. I bought spoon calipers a while back and are trying to finally get them on the car this winter. I know a need a spacer for the calipers to clear the wheels, and that's where my question comes in.

I only want H&R spacers. I've heard countless good things about them, so I'm going to go that route. I think I'm going to go with a 10 mm spacer as well. I think it's debatable if I need a 5 mm or a 10 mm, but I think if I go 10 mm it'll give me a lil bit more clearance and I shouldn't have any rubbing issues. If anyone has any information that disproves any of that please let me know.

Here's where my questions come in. I know the 25 mm H&R spacers come with studs in them, but the do 10 mm studs come with them as well? If they do not, what kind of extended studs would you recommend? Also, is it okay that I only do spacers on the front or will this throw the car off balance?

Thanks in advance for your help, and once again, if you have an insight on the first part that I wrote about I appreciate it too.

Eric

10mm and 15mm spacers from h&r dont come with built in studs. But tcsportline makes 15mm bolt on spacers with a 71mm hub bore and they are hub centric too. I used to have them. And they are the best quality a spacer can be.

I'm a little worried though that 15 mm spacers will cause rubbing issues

If your fenders are stock, you're going to rub with 10mm spacers as well. Prepare to either roll or rub.

Another thing to be aware of. I'm not sure myself, but does H&R make a spacer that will fit the front hub bore of the s2k? I know Project Kics does, and they have the extended studs too.

Just FYI, I have a set of them in 10mm that I've never installed and need to sell. PM me if interested, they're still NIB. I've only opened them to make sure all contents in-tact.

8+45 will fit without fender roll. So the 7.5 +48 will for sure fit with a 10mm
