Default Wheel Studs On 4x4

I know people have spoke about this before but i have not heard anyone Talk about the safety issues, I have my cosworth 4x4 which has oz super ts and as i have a big disk conversion they need small spacers on the front. Now i would say that the back wheels sit tooo far into the arch. (which i hate). So i was going to get long studs and put spacers on the rear. i want to put all new studs on the car anyway

Whats everyones views on this idea? Or should i just buy wheels with better offset?

My wheels are et35 and I had to put spacers in the front to get clearance on my big brake kit I wouldn't advise you to put spacers on the rear just leave that be, on the front long stud and get some decent hub centric spacers eg: eilbach and that should give you the clearance you need

The other route as you know is to buy alloys with offset to give you clearance but that is the far costlier option

The problem is i hate the look of the wheels being to far into the arch. But if you advise against spacers on the rear the i suppose i will have to leave it as is.

Thanks for the quick reply

Any more response/advice would be great
