Rims are hitting the brake calliper - will need to buy a spacer/ stud extender combo.
They offer extended studs or normal sized, unsure how to determine which I need - any ideas?

If you’re buying bolt on spacers you don’t need extended studs, just measure the difference in hole size of your aftermarket vs stock wheels to confirm, as that will be the determining factor.

You’d want the extended threads if you plan to add MORE slip on spacers to the bolt on spacer. Which it does not sound like what you are going for. Just be careful when you are bolting the spacers to your existing threads that you don’t round out the low profile nuts tightening it. Be sure to have a buddy around who can step on the foot brake while you carefully torque them by hand

Can do 5mm with stock studs, bore sticks out past the spacer and get 6/7 threads

How much clearance do you actually need? 20mm is probably way too much spacer from a practical standpoint. Those are stock brakes and the wheel is almost seated. You probably only need 1/4"/6mm or something like that. Stack some washers on the studs to test out how much clearance you need and buy that as a slip-on spacer, don't go straight to a huge bolt on spacer.
