Default Wheel Spacer Trimming

Hey guys quick question,
Will I have to trim factory studs if I want to add the supreme 1.5 inch wheel spacers. On a lot of videos I see people saying yes unless its 2.0 and no you can fit a 1.25 without trimming also.
Thank You in advance.

What brand spacer... most 1.5” spacers hide the stud.

Not familiar with that brand. It should state something about that on the web site. Are they hub centric spacers ?

I really doubt it. You'll know as soon as you bolt them on. If the least bit of doubt, grind them down a little. If you had to do anything, it'd be well within the unthreaded end of the stud, but I doubt it. You could always just pull a wheel and measure how much stud you currently have protruding from the hub face. if its equal to or greater than (how do I get that symbol on myPC/ W10?) 1.5 then trim a bit.

I have those exact supreme suspension spacers, 1.5".

With stock OEM wheels you they will fit no problem(I have the 20's). The studs will protrude about 1/8 or 1/4" from the spacer face, but the OEM wheels have a dimple in the back that allows for the studs to clear.
