Yes the spacers are for the +42s. I want to see how it would look as a +32. the R3 is getting 20mm ones... although I thought I ordered 25mm ones.

woo hoo .... back to getting field time
You can have some field time out with me if you want!

You save minimal money by not getting the ones with studs built in. I'd much rather spend $10 there and not eat at McDonalds for a day instead of working for hours on my car.

Agreed but normally under +15s do not and cannot come with studs due to size limitations of the spacers. I guess I should have just gone with +15s spacers but man +27 on a ten inch rim with 265s is pushing it.

That's not true at all. I have 10mm spacers from project kics with built in studs.

That good effen news man! That is what I ordered and was worried I was going to have to order studs. I have not had a chance to take the package apart and look at them, I just assumed since they were so thin I would have to run an extended lug like many other sets.

This weather is annoying... First off, it's too damn hot. I'd probably mind that a little less if I had a working AC in my car right now lol. Second, it can't decide if it wants to rain/storm or not. 3 times today I've heard thunder, looked outside and noticed some dark clouds forming. 15-20 minutes later, it's sunny again and nothing happened. My only class today is at 7 pm and I have a test... I know it's just going to keep up this cycle until the very minute I decide to leave for class, which is when it will start to actually storm.

I definitely welcome any rain we can get, especially if it means cooler temperatures, but I wish it would be a bit more considerate of my schedule.

Your kics spacers have the studs built in but the factory studs still need to be cut. So once you decide to go with these type, you are stuck with them because if you don't like them then you will have too replace your stocks studs (a bitch). I have the Ichiba's with the longer replacement studs so if I decide to remove the spacers then I will have more studs sticking out so i will need open face lugs.

I know, I was at one of my other offices and it looked and sounded like all hell was going to break loose and yet it came and went without a drop of rain.

Not much. These are the backs of Hoss' wheels.

With the 10mm spacers you need cut off about 1/2" of the factory studs.

Yeah, you lucked out. Longer studs are the way to go, not to mention you can get ARP wheel studs and never have to worry about them breaking, stripping, etc. ever again.
