Sorry, I have not seen the ARP studs. I know it is tight with the ones supplied in the 20mm kit so I would imagine the bearing hub would have to be removed for that....

thinking about getting 5 mm spacers all around for my set up. my question is is it absolutely necessary to swap out to longer studs even with just 5 mm spacers? i dont track my car.

I would think that five mm spacers would work with stock studs, but I may be wrong. It may also depend on the thickness of the wheel material between the lugnuts and the spacer as well. YMMV

Ok, total noob at modding here.

I tried to do this mod today, putting 20mm H&Rs on the rear. I started with my rear right wheel. I had no problems with the removal and all, but when I got to the point where I'm putting back the brake assembly, I got stuck - the brake pads came close, leaving only about a 2mm gap, not enough for the whole assembly to fit on the rotor again.

Has anyone run into this issue before, and how did you fix it? Anything I can do to have them move apart?

Figured it out...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong I did the fronts no problem and rear
Left no problem but the right rear after finally getting it all back together it sounds as though the pads are rubbing the inside of the rotor how do I adjust it so it's not rubbing anymore? I can't seem to get it lined up again?

There is a star wheel adjuster that you can access thru the rear brake rotor. Remove the small rubber plug and then tighten the brake shoes up against the inner drum. When they are tight, THEN back them off about 3 or 4 clicks for freedom of movement.
Of course this is all done WITHOUT THE PARK BRAKE ENGAGED...

See step 2 in first post.

Are the small brake pads inside the rotor only used by the emergency brake?

Yes.
