I can personally attest that spacers ≤ 18mm do not require cutting the OEM studs. FYI - I'm running 15mm in the front and 18mm in the rear. A few others have reported they are running 20mm with no modifications necessary; however, I cannot personally confirm.
. No issues whatsoever and no cutting required.
will report back once i get my wheel setup done.. may take a few weeks because i am waiting for my spoon springsI can personally attest that spacers ≤ 18mm do not require cutting the OEM studs.

The hyper aggressive imagery they sent over (see below) had me concerned for a minute but I decided to just go for it
Please post pics once you get everything installed.
The thicker the spacer the lower the chance of the OEM studs contacting the back of the wheel.I can personally attest that spacers ≤ 18mm do not require cutting the OEM studs.

good to know, they seem to work fine with the stock wheels that come. I',m still waiting for my stock wheels to be finished powdercoating so i'll post my set up soon.. my spoon springs still havent arrived yet either so also waiting on thatFYI
I have the FL5 forged rims and the bonoss 15mm spacers without extra studs do not work. They do not allow enough of the wheel stud for the lug nut to bite onto. Bonoss warned me to buy the spacers with extended studs. The good thing is there is a deep enough pocket in the back of the rim so I won't have to cut the stock wheel studs.
I presume the offset is different than the wheels that come standard on the Type R. While I have not seen the OEM forged wheel in person, the photos I've seen online lead me to believe the offset is much closer to +45 than the stock wheels.FYI

I wish this wasn't so complicated. I was looking forward to wheel spacers being installed today!
Yeah, I understand. You should be able to sell them rather quickly on the forums.
These are 15mm slip on spacers that don't have studs themselves? Of course that wasn't going to work! It wouldn't have worked on any rims, oem, oem forged, or any other..FYI

Unless I'm missing something, the first two of three people who posted their pictures on page 1 used stock studs?
This is right on. I completely misread the first post by @charlesca . My apologies. The Bonoss spacer I used with success, can be found here. These spacers include the appropriate hardware.
That is correct - the stock studs on the oem hub remains, the spacer is secured to these studs using the supplied low profile nuts. The wheel is then positioned over the studs attached to the spacer and secured using the OEM wheel nuts. The correct spacer is the one above - which is commonly referred to as a "bolt-on" spacer.
The spacer below (which is what I suspect you have tried to fit) is considered a "slip-on" spacer and will not work with the oem studs - the oem studs will need to be removed and extended ones fitted (the extension of which needs to match the thickness of the spacer). Additionally, the extended studs need to be M14x1.5 matching the OEM thread diameter and pitch.
