Has anyone cut there wheel studs to accommodate for 20MM spacers?
Is there any other solution besides cutting the studs?

I installed them today on GT PP wheels. Drilled out pockets in wheels and fit great. Really like 20mm over 25mm on rear tires. By the way, there is enough meat on wheels to drill pockets, just use care and don't go crazy!

Sorry I didn't take pics of drilling wheels, I removed wheel and installed wheel
adapter and then bolted the wheel on and snugged it up pretty good so the wheel studs left a circular ring on back of wheel in the
pocket showing where to drill. Used 1/2" drill bit and drilled in about 4 or 5mm. Then put thin coat of pink grease on stud ends to check for contact when bolting on wheel. Took a couple test fits but got it. Bit of a PIA putting on and taking off the wheel 2 or 3 times per side but worth it. Just did rear for now running 25mm up front.
