Default wheel spacers

I have a 2000 coupe with the standard size thin spoke wheels whose look I still like. I would like the back wheels to be more flush with the side of the car so, I am considering new wider wheels or spacers to make the back ones more flush with the side of the car. I see lots of sites with spacers available.

Anyone with experince using the 20mm spacers on their car? Do they all need to use longer wheel studs that need to be pressed out (Old) then in (new)?

If you use spacers you need longer studs.
