Yeap. The reason why the front ones had to be drilled was because it was 20mm, if it was 25mm like your rear then you would've been fine. 25mm clears your whole stock stud while the 20mm is not thick enough to clear the stock studs. -------------------- |

First I was thinking to cut the studs of the spacers (couple of mms), but I was not sure how safe it would be. -------------------- |

I did it on my car and it's perfectly fine This post has been edited by mkernz22: May 15, 2013 - 11:26 PM |

Exactly what mkernz22 said. It's the stock stud that's the problem and not the studs on the spacer. It's safe to have them cute/shaved as long as the lug nuts or nut is able to grab onto most of the threads.
