I did 1.25” Steeda spacers in the rear and wanted to do 1” in the front, but didn’t like the idea of cutting the studs on the fronts... so I left the front stock.

I did 1.25" front and 1.5" rear on mine. I still had to notch the back of the factory 20's for the 1.25", the 1.5" cleared just fine. My OEM 22's also cleared just fine. The wheel studs stick out about 1.375" and most wheels have a small divot on the back of the hub to clear but my 20's the divot was too small to even clear the 1/8" the studs stuck out past the spacer on the front.
Knowing what I know now, I would order 1.5" all around if I were going to run my 20's with spacers year round, and if I was just going to run the 22's I would get 1.25" all around. Also my next set of wheels will be aftermarket with the correct offset so I don't need to run spacers at all.
When I took off my 22's and put them away for the winter and put my 20's back on, I also took off the spacers. I didn't want the salt and grime from winter roads in Cleveland to destroy the spacers.

And I did 1.25" both front and back, as well as H&R Lowering springs and a Steeda anti-sway bar upgrade. Very happy with the results,

I have the street pack 21 wheels.
I went with BORA spacers 1.5 all around.
I wish I would have done 1.25 front and then kept 1.5 back.
I was told the 1.25 spacers would not work without having to cut the studs, but now I am hearing otherwise.
I put aftermarket gorilla lugs (black) on the wheels and the gorilla lugs seem to have more depth on them which would help to clear the studs.
I only want to go to 1.25 on the front due to the slinging of mud etc the wheels give off when turning as they slightly stick out.
I have had mine on for 15k plus miles without a problem.
Also the website for the Bora's is motorsport-tech.com

So did you have to cut back the studs with the 1.25 spacers?

good morning, did you all go with the steel or aluminum spacers? not too concerned about "extra" weight, just like to have a comfort state-of-mind and safety
