After you have done all this work measuring and stuff... I am gonna throw a monkey wrench in your works, lol!
I believe you said in another thread you have the KW HAS sitting on the shelf cuz you sorta didn't want more headaches after the two months spent on your CCB upgrade, correct?
Well.... ya know that your camber will change once you drop your car... right?
In another life I was Mechanical Engineer with a Machine Tool Operator certificate. So technically I could design and even make anything. I say technically because even though I knew how to design, everything I physically made looked like Homer Simpson made it. Everyone else's looked like jewelry.
These are the ones from the video I sent you before.
These are back in stock July 12! I ordered the 12.5mm for the fronts. If I want more I can always go with the 15mm later, but, going with 12.5mm made all 20 of the lugs I need the same shank length of 40mm. Going with 15mm spacers looks like I would need 45mm lugs for the fronts, so going with 12.5mm spacers kept things simple.
Glad to hear some stuff is not "super back ordered"!
You ever considered doing a stud conversion? That way you won't have to worry about getting different length lug bolts when trying out different size spacers

No but I almost ordered the Titanium lug bolts. I decided $30 would work first until I settle on a size

I'd advice against TI hardware for wheels. They sure are pretty, but, Ya can't use impact guns on them. You'd end up like me, sounding like a princess, asking anyone who works on your car to NOT use pneumatic tools 'cuz they can/will strip 'em.
Scratch that, on more reading the studs without a shoulder can get loose. Also on installation the non threaded part of the studs can go too deep into the hub ruining threads. Better to get a name brand with shoulder stud kit.
Also - dang it - the ECS spacer's just went out of stock again. I was alerted by email it is back to December. LOL. It's hard finding correct info on what will work on the front due to hub height, inner wheel bevel, combined with spacer chamfer (or not).
