I believe if you do that you will need to switch to gt brakes.

FALSE!

Slap a 3/4" hubcentric spacer on there, might have to shave the cross bar on the caliper a bit BUT they will fit.

sounds about right from what I've always heard. A set of longer studs probably wouldn't hurt either, due to the spacer.

Longer studs are a mandatory if using a 3/4" spacer, even with my 1/2" spacers there isn't enough threads left to safely hold the wheel on

I hear ya boys BUT I screwed up. I shoulda said LUGcentric spacer. I.E. a spacer that bolts on to the car THEN the wheel to the spacer. OTHERwise, yes, extended wheelstuds ARE a must.
