Default 14x1.5 studs?

I need to buy 4 wheel spacers to gain clearance from the UCA's up front and the calipers in the rear. I think 1/4" would do it nicely, but I found these 5/16" (close enough!) on ebay. No local stores carry them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270335671710

So, 2 questions. The remaining 11/16" should still be fine, right? And also, the auction says

"They may NOT fit cars with 14x1.5 studs."

This should be ok, correct? I do believe my studs are 1.5, but they are 12-13mm, yes?

Thanks...

No responses? Oh well, it should be fine I think. Lugs are 1/2" which is ~13mm..

Well I just got done doing the same thing to my 69' fastback but I only did the front. I got mine at Oriellys. It was here overnite and if they didnt fit they said no problem giving them back. They were 5/16" and came two in a pack for about $15-20. It seems like its gonna work good. Dont hit upper arm anymore.

My fronts BARELY hit when I test fitted them on. It was so close that when it was fully seated, it was still able to rotate becuase it was just barely up against the UCA. 1/8" would probably be plenty, but oh well, might as well get them in a set of 4.

The rears touch more, but it is kinda hard to tell how much when the caliper is inside the wheel. Looks like its touching the inside weld and 1/8" would probably be good again, but better safe than sorry.
