Default Wheel spacers

Hi what are good 5 or 10 mm wheel spacers for the rear that have extended studs? Mainly looking for 5mm but 10 might be okay as well

There aren't any with extended studs on the spacer for 5mm.

For 10mm, it depends on whether it's front or back because of different center bores. Here are the 2 I've personally used:

The 2nd one is for the front with 70mm center bore. You're still going to have to make sure that the wheels you're using have enough space for the other studs that will stick through. I couldn't use the front ones with my 17x9 +45 RPF1s for example, because the other studs on the hub would hit the backside of the wheel.

I'm thinking 10mm might be too much now. I have jlb 286 wheels. 18x9 rear +50 offset. I have 255/35 tire.

What do you all think? Just for the rear.

Shouldn't be hard at all, just depends on what your goal is. 9j +40 (effective offset) with a 255 isn't tough though. Might need -3 camber at the very most.

Judging by the pic, I would say 15mm spacer would flush your rear setup nice. Plus going with a 15mm spacer, u can choose them with the studs already pressed in which makes it a bolt on affair.

He can get them in 10mm too, and 9 +40 would be a lot easier than 9 +35.

I think 10mm I'll go with . 15 will be too much. Can anyone. Recommend a pair of reasonably priced 10mm spacers with extended studs ?
