No. They came with longer studs, but I don't know if they'll work with the extra 5mm. I don't have the 15mm yet, but wanted a head start with the studs.

I have 265/40/19 and 295/35/19. Most people go for lower sidewall.

Could I go 20front and 25 rear with no rubbing? (Lowered on teins)

or maybe go 20 front and 22 rear :P??

Thank you

Yes. Pretty close to what I was running with no rubbing. I had the same size spacers with 255/40 & 285/35

Hey just curious if the 25mm or the 20mm spacers cause your tires to sling dirt and water up on the side of your car?

thanks for the info, ive been searching for that answer for like 2 days jeje.

were you lowered when you had 20 25?

When you say it wont rub you mean daily drive or never? becasue Ill be going to the track with this setup and id hate to rub on full load. Maybe then ill get 17 front and 22 rear

but id like to go the most agressive without rubbing (even on the track) Maybe 22 front and 25 rear.

what you think?

thanks pfdaxe

Never rubbed and I am lowered on TEIN S-Tech springs. Mine is for street use and never on a track. Here's a pic (I have different rims now though):
