Default 20mm spacers with Extended studs

hi guys,

i'm trying to get a wider look for my 02 WRX currently lowered on H&R springs.
i've currently got little 5mm spacers on there but was thinking of getting some extended studs (which are 25mm longer than standard) and then some 20mm spacers....

how hard is it to change studs on newage's?

how will it effect the ride? (i don't track it)

anything i should be aware of before doing this?

any advice would be great.

Personally I wouldn't do it. Spacers on the back may not affect handling too much but might on the front. I have spacers on the front to clear brembos but have quite pronounced judder throught the steering wheel. Am going to upgrade to bigger wheels very soon. I would recommend bigger wheels as well to fill your arches not the spacer option.
