Wheel spacers
Would I run into any trouble putting on 1" spacers on the rear?
Want to bring out the back wheels some more as they look way too shallow in the wheel well lol
I'm getting my 16's sprayed gun metal and would like them to look good

Yes I do have a different car but its still the same platform and I doubt there is much difference in dimentions. You can always go with longer studs. I wouldnt trust those bolt on spacers, just something about bolting a hole extra setup on the end of your hubs that doesnt sit well with me. If you trust it then thats all that matters. Did you try unbolting the wheel and sitting it 1" away from the hub to see what it would look like in the wheel well?

And nope I haven't tried it tho, how would I go on about changing the studs? Is it hard?

Its not hard, you need to put a lug nut on them flush with the end of the stud and pound them out with a hammer. The backs have plenty of room to come out, the fronts I had to loosen the hub bolts and tilt out the bottom of the hub to get the longer ones to slide in. There is a notch in the bottom of the hub to make room for the studs to come out. Use a lug nut and tighten it down on the stud to seat it completely.
