Default Spacer questions

I'll be using 10 mm spacers on the back. Are spacers a direct bolt on ? The shop that is doing the work says they have to punch out the wheel studs or something like that . Guess I will be using ichiba 10 mm from e bay .

It depends on the spacers... Most 10mm are slip ons that need to be used in conjunction with longer wheel studs. Hence why the OEM studs need to be punched out. Nothing a quick pop of a hammer won't handle. Easy peezy.

You can use other ones than Ichiba. Just make sure they're hubcentric.

you can go with bolt on spacers that have studs in them or the ones with extended studs that replace your stock studs. if you go with the bolt on spacers you want to see if your rims have enough space in the rear to clear your stock studs sticking out of the spacer. if there isn't space....then you gotta cut your stock studs.
