Exclamation Figuring out spacers is rocket science HELP!

If I run 20mm spacers up front and 15mm in the back will the stock wheel studs be to long and stick out preventing my wheel from sitting flush against the spacer? The spacer I want to use is H&R DRM's they bolt straight onto the stock studs and have their own studs pressed into the spacer which the wheel bolts on to.

The wheel I'll be running is TSW Nurburgring 19x9.5 and 10.5

I hope someone can help clear this up before I FLIP MY FREAKING LID!!!!!

Running a spacer that big you may want the ones that you press in the longer studs. I ran 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rears with my stock rays and it was the perfect fitment for me. The bolt on ones always scared me thinking they would break if I was to push the car to hard and such. But from my understanding the bolt on ones does so in a way it allows for the rim to sit flush to the spacer. Hope this helps
