Default so wheel spacers?

if wheel spacers have become a consideration with the wheel setup, would it be safe to throw them onto the stock wheel studs, or should extended studs be replaced?

im looking at maybe a 10mm and a bit bigger for the rear

You can generally do 5mm on stock studs. It depends on the wheel design. Most definitely, you're not getting away with 10mm+ on stock studs, though.

Get hubcentric spacer adaptors. I think I have a set of 15mm ones here $40 and they're yours.

If you are running spacers you NEED the spacers with their own studs and do NOT run extended studs with slip on spacers....

Not sure I agree here. There's nothing wrong with running extended studs and 10-15mm spacers. I agree, though, if you're going 25+.
