Spacers w/ OEM MR wheels

Curious if anybody has any truth to this. I spoke to Evasive Motorsports earlier and I was told that the Project Kics Spacers in the 10mm flavor would not work with the factory wheels as the factory wheels dont have "holes" to fill the factory studs. If I wanted to space out my MR wheels on my car, what are my options? I really want to stick with 10-12mm spacers at the least/most. What are my options? Thanks!

I don't have any recent pics but I spaced out the front wheels w/ washers first to 15mm and then 10mm and decided that 15 was on the edge of starting to look aggressive/funny.

Widening thefront track will increase front grip...on my car I had put a few things on at the same time(front roll center correction,rear bumpsteer,better alignment) so I can't tell you what just the spacers feel like, but my car now feels too fast to really test the limits on public roads

currently im running 20mm kics spacers with built in studs
i dont know how strong they are for track use but so far they havent had any issues in daily driving and high speed runs on the highway
i will put my stockers on this weekend and take some pics of how they look
provided they fit without issue
