Can I ask?

And generally no but try contacting the selle directly and asking. Shouldn't be a problem I think

It involves a sheep, KY jelly, and a prybar. That's all the OP shared.

Not to be a debbie downer but beware of running these with stock length wheel studs, broke one the other day after running these 7k miles.

I have ARP extended studs. When installing the front studs, the washers I was using stuck together so I thought since the spacer is steel, it would work better. I didn't pay attention to the fact that the only mating surface was on the hub and not out by the hole for the stud. So it bent and I lol'd.

I actually may not need a spacer for the rear though. I'll know later today when I put my new wheels on.

Spacers don't break studs. Frequent removal, lack of lubricant and over torquing breaks studs. There is more than enough stud length to run 5mm spacers safely or we would include longer studs.

When I did the test fit on the front with my 17x9 +45mm wheels, we got about 5 turns on the lugs before snugging them down. The shop doing my corner balance suggested to go longer in order to get 7 turns. But I also need 10mm spacers to clear the coilovers.

Maybe it was a fluke but I use a snap-on digital torque wrench on my lugs to 80 ft lbs everytime, it was getting about 5 turns. I checked the other lugs before replacing and they were all torqued still.
