Make sure to have these installed before the Cert, although I take it you are already planning to do so. What's the reason for the spacers and extended studs? Wheels no fitty properly? It's best if you can find wheels that fit perfectly without having to do weird things with the studs and spacers. Although 5-10mm isn't that excessive, and as long as they are a quality brand, so it's good you are already after good ones and not the cheapest ones

Yea I’ve got 17x8 +38 front and 17x9 +40 rear I need lower offset to fit fortune auto coilovers but I don’t have money for other wheels as I dont really want to give up my old volks as they are discontinued and impossible to find a staggered set
