Wheel spacer and extended stud question?

I threw on new wheels and my right side is sunken in more than my left. The wheels specs are identical, but im thinking the body wasnt repaired correctly, which is causing the difference. I bought 10mm spacers that didnt come with extended studs. This is for my right side. Now, i am needing a 5mm spacer for the driver to even out the look. This will also even out the look from the front to back. So, just adding 5mm to the right will not get the look i am looking for. Which i already thought about ;) When i was trying to test the 10mm spacer, my oem studs on my IS300 didnt reach out far enough for the nut to grab on to the stud. 

Now, my question is, if i buy ichiba 5mm spacers that come with extended studs. Will they also work for my 10mm spacer? And where would be a good source to buy them from?

Thanks and hopefully i can find an answer to my question

To add, my 10mm wheel spacers is not an adapter. It slides over the same studs the wheels do. Just to clarify why im looking for extended studs

Spacers on spacer = no my friend, just get 15mm lug in spacer

No i dont plan on doing spacer on spacer. Why would someone do that? 

My front passenger side is sunken in about 5mm compared to my driver front side. However, my rears poke out about 5mm to my driver side. So, i will need 5mm on the driver side and 10mm on my passenger side. I had bought 10mm spacers from a friend, but it didnt come with extended studs. I also need 5mm spacers for the driver side. I plan on using extended studs for the 5mm. Ichiba sells 5mm spacers with extended studs that i plan on buying. Or i will just buy spacers and ARP extended studs. Just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, if possible. If the risk is to high, or it doesnt work, will help me decide what my options are. 

I am curious if anyone here has installed 5mm extended studs and used a 10mm spacer that had enough threads to torque the nuts? 
I would prefer people who have done it and drove on it for thousands of miles to respond.

I stop reading when i saw 5mm driver & 10mm on passenger. Confused myself reading. Need to find out why its off on each side originally..

Body shop didnt do a good job straightening the front end. I dont have experience on body work and money to have it redone. I already tried unbolting and pushing the fender in more, but it only moved 1mm. I could try pulling out the driver side.

It sounds like that no one has/had tried this to confirm if its the best solution

Ok, so this is what i plan on doing, and hope it will work. I will buy arp ext studs for both sides, throw on 10mm spacers and wheels. Then unbolt and move out the driver fender to fit like the passenger side. Im hoping this will work and i will probably have to adjust the headlights and grill to even out the gaps in the front. 

This is going to be more work than adding spacers. It will be safer than having a wheel fall off, or corner harder on one side and find myself in the ditch.

i think you would rather have both side running the same amount of spacers. You would rather it look uneven then have your suspension running unevenly. I would suggest saving up and fixing the body or frame instead.

[COLOR=#3E3E3E]I dont have money to have it fixed correctly, which is more ideal. Im just a broke college student, that is running on fumes of money to get my car to where i would like it, without spending a lot of money to get there. Its a gamble, but so is the 280k miles it has on the odo. Rather spend the money to replace the motor when it goes, than fixing a body part that is only form than function[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#3E3E3E]I had cornered measure the top and the passenger front corner is 1/4" wider. [/COLOR][COLOR=#3E3E3E]I can do a few things to make it work. Make wider mounting holes on the passenger fender to suck it in more, or do the driver fender and pull it out. Just waiting for my arp studs to get here. Damn shit is taking forever. Of course, its probably that i just ordered them today through amazon and they said it wont be here until 24th lol

Thanks for sharing some of the thoughts.
