Is it safe (for track usage) to run a 10mm wheel spacer on stock wheel studs?
I'm looking to push my +45 wheels out to +35.

me neither 
might as well play it safe with extended lugs...they are cheap even (arp, skunk2, moroso) though the new wheel bearings you need too aren't.
but in the end still cheaper than the damage from a wheel shearing and falling off while driving
Thats what I heard. I'd at least try and use aftermarket extended lugs if I were to even try and make sure to torque them down really really good.
I think even with extended studs, 10mm is the highest you can go...maybe 15 but that would probably be pushing it. Plus most of the "good" hubcentric spacers that are bigger than 10mm come with the studs in the spacer with flush lugs.

But yeah, I'll probably use a 5mm spacer with open-ended OEM lugnuts. It'll only be for my EG2 wheels.

Also, new goodies:

Yeah, I need a new rear bumper before I put my parts in for paint. That one is not the problem, there's a groove along the top edge that would never be perfect.
