The OP probably wants spacers for a more flush look.

OP: You are going to need extended lug studs and open ended lug nuts to run those spacers.

Just a heads up.

Or you can get the Ichiba ver. 2 or any other spacer that has built in studs. Been using them on 15x7 +40 rotas for at least a year with no issues.

The studded spacers have an issue, though. It has to do with clearance to the factory studs. If you're running a studded spacer under 35mm in thickness, you'll need to be aware of how much lug stud is protruding through the spacer and if there are recessed areas on the hub of the wheel which will allow the studs to clear the wheel.

youre going to have to replace bearings on all wheels if you get extended lugs cause you cant just tap them in there

Not only that, but the lug nuts need to have a "Ball" style seat for Honda's factory made wheels. Most open end lug nuts are conical or shank style lug nuts.

what the spacers or the studs??

for the studs you have to remove the hubs and the bearings should be replaced if you do that the honda studs are harder to replace because there is stuff in the way if you ever look at your car with the rotors off you'll know what im talking about
