05 STI 0em wheels/ 15mm spacer issue

so I had the opportunity to fit a really well kept 05 sti, it had over fenders so I did my tape and roll technique on it, everything turned out gravy. modest roll/pull on all 4 corners.

fitment hks hipermax 2's coilovers, -2 degrees camber rear 15mm spacer on 08sti wheels










how it sits with the 15mm spacers on.







fenders before/after


stock untouched.


pulled




now the spacer gave us a slight problem

the 15mm didnt allow the sock wheels to seat properly, the studs came out too far, it would have worked perforctly on an aftermarket wheel.

example: enkei nt03-m


stock 08 sti wheels.




stock studs need to be trimmed about 1/4inch to seat properly
