Any chance the spacers will cause wobbling issues?

You need longer studs even with the 3mm?

I don't have the experience with these or any other brand of spacers to know one way or the other.
I think Charlie might be a great person to ask.

Fit the rim you intend to space out.
Torque up the lug nuts.
If you don't have (in this case 3mm) of unused thread hanging out the end of each nut then you should consider longer studs IMO.

I assume these are a better grade of steel as compared to stock

My info is that stock and the extended metric studs are both grade 10.9

Is that the correct cost $150.00 for 10 studs?
