Will the 15mm AK-W fit my 19" OEM wheels with no modifications to my existing studs? (I don't want to remove or cut them)

The industry standard is an equal amount of threads to diameter of the bolts. You run a 1/2"x20 threads per inch bolt, so 10 threads would be considered safe by these standards.

Personally... I think this is not enough and run a full 1" of threads on custom bolts I had made to run 1/2" spacers out back of my ride. The best way to tell, is to jack your wheel up just off the ground. Loosen the lugs all the way off and then re-start and give them 10 full turns. Move the wheel in/out and measure the space you have left for a spacer. With the industry standard of number of thread equal to diameter of bolt, you would be safe.

Another way is the second bolts that are incorporated into the spacers themselves. The issue here is two fold. The first being that you will have a minumum of usually 3/4"~1" spacer and may be too much for your application or clearances. The second issue is a burried nut behind the wheels. This is OK for some, but personally don't like the idea and recommend a new set of bolts like I did for better security. There is actually a third issue with the bolted spacers and is the possiblilty of the factory bolts running into the back of the wheel as it is mated to the spacer. Many wheels have accomodating space for these bolts, while some do not.

It's too bad you do not have a 15mm or 20mm in your S series? I might have missed it but do these S series included the studs? Oh yea, is there a price sheet?

Thought I'd weigh in on this. I purchased a set of Akata spacers for my 2007 Mustang (10mm). They are very nice construction and hubcentric. The only problem is that they're unuseable on my Mustang. These spacers are only 150mm in outer diameter. My wheel (GT500 replicas) need at least a 160mm (about 6.25") outer diameter spacer to work properly (due to machining on the back side of the wheel). Just thought I'd pass this on to anyone else considering these - check your wheel before ordering. The spacers from Maximum Motorsports are 6.25 OD, but are not hubcentric so they're not as nice as these (but they work with my wheels).
