Do you mean cut the studs...? Because I would see no reason to cut the lugs...and with a 15mm spacer I think you have to replace the studs for longer ones, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

If you get the Type 1 spacers, then they will come with extended lugs you REPLACE the stock lugs with.
If you get they Type 2 spacers, they will come with NEW lugs attached and you bolt it on to the stock lugs. There is no reason to ever cut your stock lugs.

For 15mm, look into bolt on spacer
but then again, why not just buy wheels that fit?

I have 20mm spacers and they where installed without issues. However I believe that some posts and instructions said that sometimes the back of the wheel has to be clearanced to fit.

For the fronts, I would go with a Type 1 spacer for the rear Type 2. Its what I did it's what has been recommended over and over on here. No problems with mines no shaking nothing. Looks aggressive 20 front 25 rear.
