On stock stud i'd say no way. I've known many people to be driving down the road with spacers and the spacer sheard off the stock stud. Then you have to see if the track will let you pass tech

DO NOT RUN SPACERS ON THE REAR!

on the front, not so bad. just make sure you've got plenty of thread engagement, and torque them properly with a torque wrench. you should be fien.

I had the 1.8 spacers on stock studs for about 6 months until i decided to go ahead and grind the caliper off all the way.I did'nt have any problems, i might have been just lucky.
