Spacer question...

When you guys talk of using spacers on wheels. Is there anything else you have to get or buy to run spacers? as in lugs/studs? The most I would probably want to do is 10mm spacer on the rears. Just wondering if there is anything else I would have to factor in buying other than the spacers themselves? Sorry, I am a noob and not having any luck when searching the spacer threads.

Most spacer kits come with extended bolts.

Most do come with extended bolts, but some require you to purchase your own.

You will need longer bolts. But most spacers come with longer bolts. When you purchase the 10 mm make sure they come with longer bolts.

I've heard ppl using stock bolts with 5mm spacers. But even then I wouldn't do it. Just get a stud conversion and you don't have to worry about using the right length of bolt if you had various size of spacers.
