A lot of us have spacers with no issues, but we have the proper stud lenght with the spacer size. That one that are not recommended are the V2s spacers.

I would not use the stock studs for this application. You could get away with 5mm, but I wouldn't run them hard. I concur with Hithere to either use the bolts that come with the spacers (H&R's are harder than stock) or get some ARP bolts and open lugs.

Side story: Good pipe wrenches can be bent almost into a loop - they're softer steel and won't break. Ridgid (Elyria, OH) has 48" steel wrench in their warranty department that was torqued with a fork lift on an oil platform. Wouldn't break, so they kept pushing until the thing looked like a retarded pretzel. Then they wanted it replace, even though it worked as intended (designed not to shatter).

I'm on 20mm up front, 25mm in the back. They are bolt-on spacers, not stud-replacement. I got mine from Z1 and they have been on the car since last December

I got 20mm spacers V1 all the way around from Z1. I had V2 on my 350Z but always felt uneasy.

V1 is just a spacer with extended studs to account for the appropiate spacer size.
V2 is a spacer that bolts to the hub and brings its own studs for your wheel to mount on. Both could be hub centric or not. I believe our hubs are 73mm. |

I'm running the same set up but I've noticed that my steering wheel seems to vibrate a little now. It's not because my wheels are out of balance so I'm wondering if it's the spacers themselves

You have to put anti seize on the back, install them, drive around, do a bit of wheel shimmy-ing to put stress on them and squeeze some of the anti-seize out, THEN relighted after 50 miles or so |
