I know from reading another thread that Minicobra1 used these spacers:
Amplified Motorsport - AmplifiedMotorsport.com - performance audio auto accessories
They require replacing the original studs with longer ones that come with the kit. He also clarified that this is the only style that will work on the front wheels because there is no relief in the back of the wheel's mounting flange to clear the other style spacer's studs/nuts (the ones that hold the spacer to the car's hub). To me it makes more sense to stick with the same style spacers that Minicobra1 is using. You don't have to remember to check torque on a second set of lug nuts that are concealed behind your wheels. Also, they are lighter and presumably stronger (provided the new studs are very strong).
MiniC, I hope you don't mind me chiming in here. I've just been following your mods pretty closely. Dennis
