Bought some 25mm spacers because they are said to bolt right on with the stock wheels. That turned out to be a lie... They don't fit, the hub bolts are a few mm too long and I don't want to shave them down. Pretty annoyed.

What set did you buy for 25mm? The Garage Line 30mm were fantastic on the stock wheels.

I have previously learned somewhere (possibly a Perrin spacer review) that 27mm or above clears the stock studs, or else they need to be trimmed. I haven’t read enough to confirm that, but it seems like you did. Sorry to read about your trouble with the spacers.

Couldn’t find the exact answer but would 27mm spacers clear the stock lugs? Also, any idea if the wheels would rub on swift springs? I used this calculator and it seems they should have less poke than a 265/35r18 ET38 setup. Thanks!

yea, 27mm clear stock wheel. If you have aftermarket wheels like volks or rays, then 20mm spacer also works.
