Tx for the info
My aftermarket wheels don't have the pockets behind , so I guess I will have to trim the studs .Do you think that if I trim the studs will affect the original 20"wheels
When I put them on for the winter?

You could cut the studs and leave the spacers on when switching back to the factory wheels. No reason to take them back off. Not sure if cutting studs changes the molecular structure (heat treating). When I had my spacers made I told them to do 63.4mm on the outside of the spacer in addition to the inside. That way I just use a hub ring for the aftermarket wheels and I can switch back to the factory wheels if need be. You could also have the wheels machined to have pockets or really they just need holes. Then you wouldn't have to cut the studs which would be a plus if you decide to sell.
