his bottom locator tab probably isnt in its place cause its poking up a little bit. thats how my driver side looks and im too lazy to fix it.
wheels look good and its gonna look even better when you have all the final tweaks done

They aren't spacers, they're adapters. The adapters themselves have studs in them too. The adapter goes over your factory studs and then you tighten them on. Then you're wheel goes on the studs that are in the adapter and you tighten them on.

EDIT: They look like this.

Whats the biggest spacer you can run on factory studs.I have 5mm going on the back(which im not worried about)but the front ,due to camber,the top of the tire is about an inch from the fender lip so,I guess my real question is how big of a spacer/adapter shold I run to make it "flush" with the fender.Note I am not running retarded camber or on a stretched tire.Just want the tire to be flush with the fender lip.All help is appreciated

Um, dude? Spacers and adapters are the same exact thing. Some have studs, some are not thick enough to need them. It's like calling coke soda or pop...it's still coke.


WPN-R x HELLAFLUSH Wheelspacer Kit - 20mm
Do these look at all like the picture you posted? Those are clearly marked as "spacers", These are actually 20mm ones similar in size to what Spooled has. And is the same exact thing as what you posted chief.

They are close, but not quite the same His are adapters. They ADAPT his bolt pattern from 5x110 to 5x114.3. Spacers just push the wheels out. There is absolutely no reason to run extended studs with a 19mm adapter, if anything it would be nice to run shorter studs so you wouldn't have to shave them down if your wheels didn't have dimples in the back.

There 17's and I'm not sure of the offset.I got em off a Focus if that helps.If I were to guess I'd say 40 but I'm not sure what so ever.The rear is already close so 5mm will put it where I want it,but the front is a inch inside the fender lip from negative camber.
