So, if the spacer is metric, it's probably 5mm thick. Can you recall if the lip on your factory hubs protruded far enough through the spacer to fully engage the wheel centerbore? In other words, is the wheel still hubcentrically mounted to your car or is it being centered by the wheel studs and nuts?

To answer your third question, I left the original studs in, I get about six full turns with the srt8 lug nuts before reaching the rim.

That's good news for me, since I plan to alternate between the stock wheels for winter tires and the SRT8 wheels for summer tires. Having to swap studs each time would have been a royal pain. Thanks!

So far so good, just waiting to find out from you, or anyone else if a big brake system will work. Aloha

The custom wheels for our SEMA project car are scheduled to arrive in Texas (where the car is now) in two days. After they have been fitted, the SRT8 wheels will be shipped back here to me in NJ. Since I'm leaving for the SEMA show next Friday, I don't expect to have an answer for you until I return from Las Vegas the following Thursday. I'm sure I'll want to try installing those wheels as soon as I get back.
Just in case I'm one of the unlucky ones who requries spacers, I'll order a set today so they will be on hand if I need them. I'll also let you know if the brakes require the spacers. My concern would be clearance between the back of the spokes and the face of the larger calipers.
