^ I've always thought that they have potential. They're a big ___ car for a coupe. We have a white one locally dumped on stock wheels. Looks like it's too heavy for it's own suspension - I love it.

Yea you'll need extended studs for a 10mm. You could run a 5 or even 8 mm slip on spacer no prob without extended studs, but with a 10 you'll definitely need extended studs. With a 15 mm you have the option of a slip on spacer with extended studs or a bolt on spacer with studs pushed into it. With a 15mm you stock studs will still stick out 10mm so you'll need holes/dents in the back of your wheel to compensate for that, or shave down your studs. I don't recommend shaving down the studs however.

Look at the mounting surface of the wheel, if it's solid you'll have to go with extended wheel studs unless you want to run a 25mm adapter. If it has little openings in between(look at the back of an OEM 17" for reference) then you might be able to run that 15mm adapter. I would not run a 10mm slip-on spacer, the lug nut won't tighten on enough threads.
