Looks like nobody has them in stock. Probably sitting in one of the containers of the coast of Long Beach. LOL.

When I run my stock wheels I don't have any spacers in the rear and I use 1/4'' (appx. 7mm) in the front on stock studs. I wouldn't go thicker on stock studs. Not lowered plus I daily my V3.

Do you have any pictures of the front with the 7mm on stock wheels?

Thanks for the pictures. It's hard to tell because of the angle of the pictures. How does the front line up with the back? Is it sitting as far out?

It looks real close to sitting even with the rear.

H & R has spacers (TRAK+) that come with the extended studs. But not specifically for the CTS-V. It's for a Camaro. But the bolt pattern and hub measurements are identical to the V.

I test fit some universal spacers over the weekend. Looks like 13 mm is a safe bet for the front. It comes with the longer studs. Ordered a set yesterday.

Installed 13 mm with the extended studs. Could have gone a little bigger but might get 275 in the front.

How hard was it to install extended studs?

 

[nuge]

I'd say it takes about an hour and a half per side from start to finish. The caliper definitely needs to come off in order to remove the old studs and put the new ones on. The rest of it is pretty easy. There's a couple of YouTube videos that helped. I didn't need any special tool. My buddy help me out. He's not a professional mechanic but knows what he's doing. It also give us a chance to catch up.

I run 15mm spacers upfront and longer studs upfront for my track wheels. I have put my factory wheels on with the spacers and they look/fit great. 10mm would probably be more ideal for the front

What extended studs did you buy?

Go to US Wheel Adapter and they'll sell you everything you need, studs, spacers, hubcentric spacers, you name it. All aluminum, no plastic bullshit. Prices are competitive. I run 5mm hubcentrics on all 4 corners due to my wheels

This is where I got my spacers. There's no specification for Cadillac but it's the same as the Camaro.
