If there's any way a 5mm spacer would work then you could still use your OEM studs, might stack some washers (those ones that come w/ your OEM lug nuts will work) and put 2 or 3 stacked washer on 3 lugs and do a test fit of the wheel and see if you have some clearance. Worth a shot IMO as I doubt there's too much spacing needed but
Might be better than taking a hit on trying to sell the wheels, get new ones and do a new remount of the tires.
As luck would have it, I have a set of 5mm spacers laying around. I've tried test fitting them as well. The wheel spokes connect with the caliper pretty good.
I believe I have one of two options, get wheels with the correct offset, or get longer studs installed to fit the existing wheels. I'm prepared to face the fact that I will need to get another set of wheels.
thanks for your responses! I hope I haven't wasted your time.

No problem at all, and this is good info to know as far as what wheels will & won't work w/ BBK. Do you think 10mm wold work? If so, that's still a viable option IMO, shouldn't be too much labor to change the studs out, and your wheels will be nice & flush
I believe the 10mm's would work. However, my problem is with finding a good shop in the Columbus OH area that I can trust with the work. I wasn't too happy with the shop that put on my BBK's, as there are a few dings in my calipers.

thanxs blnewt!
Here's one last suggestion~it sounds like you really like the fit that Chinky Choy is running. If you notice in the first post, the last setup he's running is a 9.5 +25, this would be the same as running an 8.5 +12.
If you just add bolt-on spacers (no shop labor required) you could get them in 15mm so you'd be running a net 8.5 +20, so you'd still have 8mm more room than that last setup that CC is running. IMO that would be your best plan, you'd get nice & flush, you'd clear your brakes, you wouldn't have to pay a shop to change studs, and you wouldn't have to take a loss on your new wheels.
Charles @ B2Autodesigns is a great vendor and his hubcentric spacers are quality sets. I'd shoot him a PM for the best pricing. And one more thing to consider, you might order just one pair first, and put one on front and one on back and see how you like the fit, if you want a bit more flush in back then order another set in 20mm.
Just one more idea to float your boat
i m on the verge of placing an order a set of Stance sf01 wheels with 20x10 35 offest? i was wondering if i will clear the strut and bbk of the front. i am currently on stance coils and i also have spc camber kits for both front and rear.
or 20x10.5 27 offest will clear the problem?
Always confirm w/ the vendor regarding BBK clearance, you WILL clear the strut w/ the 10 +35 but wheels will poke a bit outside the fender until they tuck under compression.
Sorry I was late to the party but +1 on everything blnewt said
also I rock the b2 hubcentric spacers with the built in bolts on my winter set up and its G2G
“king of square set-ups” lmao this is 100% true. not even joking lol I live for the square setups tho. The thread you started helped me out a lot when it came to buying my wheels!
what do you mean by "untill they tuck under compression"? so i dont want to poke out too much. would 15mm spacer on the front will help out with resolving poking out? sorry, i am a newbie to wheels and offset.

watch this video at 0:20 when he’s hitting bumps and you’ll see the wheel tuck in under compression. and at 1:20 he lets the air out which is the same as compressing the suspension. watch the top of the wheel go inwards as it compress’s
As for spacers they stick the wheel out even more so then you will have extra poke. x10 +35 shouldn’t have enough poke that will worry you. it won’t look like a skate board lol but most importantly you just want to make sure they clear your breaks. hope i could help out. Blewnt knows his **** though so def listen to what he says haha check the first few pages of this thread though. Im sure theres something super close, if not exact, to a 20x10 +35. Lots of good info in here
I was told 19x9.5 +22 would not fit the front by the same peeps that fit a coupe with 19x9.5 +22's!? WTF? Is it the particular wheel maybe?
Maybe they meant it won't clear bbk if you have them. I m a sedan and I fit 19x9.5 +25 and still could have gone more aggressive. So whoever said you couldn't make that work has no idea what they are talking about
