I've been running a 10mm ichiba spacer and their included generic extended studs for 10k miles with no issues.

I have autocrossed with generic extended studs (not sure which brand but not ARPs) for 2 years now. I use 12mm and 15mm slip-on spacers, with 275 wide slicks and an electric impact every event. I had one stud break on me, most likely due to over torque, otherwise all has been good.

That doesn't feel like very solid steel if only 90 ft-lbs will cause them to break.
It was also a massive pain to re-order nuts/studs as they were not answering their phones for a 3 month period or so.

torque wrench wasn't locked and they got torqued to 90 ft-lbs and two of them broke the stud off

Needless to say when it goes back together it's getting billet spacers, ARP studs and new lug nuts.
Beyond that, I ran a 1:26.477 in the 4th session for my best time on NT01's making 410whp running ST43 pads and no brake cooling.
