Default 15 mm spacer + extended studs possible on stock sport wheels

hello wheel experts,

I was wondering if I could run a 15mm spacer on the rear with 60mm studs and open lugs ( muteki). I plan on purchasing track wheels that are sqaure and was advised to run this setup on the rear so i can rotate wheels. As i wont be runing the track wheels all the time I was wondering if I could still use my sport wheels on this new set up in the rear? just want to make sure before I make the purchase.

thanks in advance

I'm far from a "wheel expert", but I'm running 30mm spacers in the rear with no spacers in the front. Sport package wheels and tires. Works just fine.

Did that answer your question?

I don't think your Muteki lugs are for hubcentric wheels. Does it have a flat washer like the factory lug? Take one of the stock lugs off and see.Your best bet is trim down the new studs and use your stock lugs over the 15mm.
