Those have closed ends right?

The thing with spacers is when you get the extended studs, those are for 15mm or less... 20mm or more, which is what the stockers deserve, you should get the type II spacers with the studs built into the spacer. Those will be the same length as a stock hub so there's no problem there.

If you do however decide to go with just extended studs, the spacer will take up the excess length of the studs. Example:

Standard Stud Length: 35mm (just for demonstration purposes, not sure the actual length of our studs)

Extended Stud Length: 50mm

Spacer Width: 15mm

50mm - 15mm = 35mm

So you'll be at the same starting point you were without the spacers. If your lugs fit then, they'll still fit with spacers.

Yeah, the Rays lugs are closed ended. I was under the impression the DRM would not fit a 15/20 setup for the stock Rays. Either the front or back would not sit flush. Am I wrong?

I really like the idea of keeping everything clean with the DRS setup. I might just buy them and see. Worst case scenario I have to buy an open ended set of lugs which I have thought about switching anyways.

Chris, Did you end up ordering those special edition black Volk center caps for your GT-S?
