Or maybe the OEM front wheels do not have any kind of recess for the spacer stud to extend into.

reference: STILLEN : H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers

I removed the bolt up front as it does nothing, and installed the 20mm Type 2 Spacers. This worked fine. I didnt buy those type of spacers though. I got the Kics project brand without the center ring.

i didn't know if i had to post this here, but here are some pics of my Z1 20mm spacers with the built-in studs that i did a few hours ago. (Only the rear)

By the way, i have a question for you guys that installed the built-in studs spacer.
When you tightened your wheel on the spacer, did yours built-in studs moves a few millimeters forwards due to the torque??
i thing it's normal, i just want to have a confirmation from you..

Wheel specs are : 20x8,5 ET 38 front and 20x10 ET 25 Rear, pretty much like the oem 19'' wheels

The front will need it to, but i don't know if it will be 15mm or 20mm, what you thing??

see you
