Just thinking there, you should be able to fit 5mm spacers without the need for longer wheel studs.

With spacers fitted, you must have at least 8 complete turns of the nut for it to be within safety.

i have had 6mm spacers on the rear of my car with no issues (stock studs)

not sure if this is changeable depending on what wheels are fitted at the time?

i was told the max you could get away with on the stock studs is 8mm, but i could not confirm that
