    I added 2” spacers to front and rear wheels. No rubbing or anything, no vibrations.

    do i need to change the studs?? The lug nuts that hold the spacers to the hubs only went down about 4-5 threads, i also used red lock tite on each one. Drove about 30 miles today and no problems.

    You don't need new studs you can purchase opended ET lug nuts. If the extended thread doesn't go into the hole of the space your can drill the hole out so that they will. I had to do this on my BORA spacers. Like you I wasn't getting that much thread engagement.

    Probably BORA unless it's a cheap knock off.
