Is it really bad? Kenchen's right,with the 20 mm,they touch the rim slightly. You could also cut the studs back a bit as well(5mm). I noticed when I torqued mine down(wheel on to spacer) I would get it to the torque spec,but then the nut would all of a sudden give and then I'd torque it down some more. This led me to believe that the pressed in wheel studs in the spacer wasn't pressed in all the way so the nut was still pulling the stud into the spacer itself. Long story short,if the pressed in studs aren't all the way pressed in,it might cause vibration. Also as a note,my car has a bit of a shimmy at 130 km. not bad,but noticeable.
