Don't get the cheap ones from amazon. I have 20mm all around, and when I went to motorsport hardware to get wheel studs installed, Cecil noticed that my spacers were lipped, and only the very edge of the lip was contacting the hub, so I just got some new spacers from him there while I was there.

I'm on 18 inch turbo twists, and 20mm all around is no problem. Almost wish I went a little more in the front for appearance, but this looks good.

Also- based on my research at the time, the only appropriate wheel bolts were $2-300 for a set. That's why I had studs installed, since it actually ended up being a little cheaper with both parts and labor vs parts alone for new wheel bolts.
