Spacers Advice

I personally don’t believe the studs are long enough to properly accommodate 10mm spacers. The 15mm adapters are a better choice, but you may have to shave about 2-3mm off the unthreaded ends of the studs to prevent contact with the back side of the wheels.

You’re right , even if I go with 10mm I need to get longer studs.
I think 10mm all around will be just enough to my taste.

You'll increase your amount of work by going with 10mm.

A friend tried to install my Motorsport 17mm spacers on his SVR w/Carbon Ceramic rotors and ran into issues with interference with the center hub. I wasn't at the shop, so I don't know the exact problem, but he told me they didn't fit...

I have 1" (25mm) billet adapters (wheel and hub centric) that I bought on EBay from seller 'ececonline' (out of stock right now). Very solid product, 10.9 grade studs, no stud trimming needed, been running them since last summer with no issues. Stock tornado rims, Nitto NT555 G2 285/35/20 rear and Falken 255/35/20 fronts. No rub ever and looks fantastic, not sure why everyone is so stuck on the 15-17mm. 25mm looks way more flush, unless you are lowered, I would recommend at least a 20mm.

Two reasons why 25 mm spacers are not commonly used on F-Types:
1. You say you have 285/35/20 rear tyres whereas the stock F-Type 20" rears are 295/30/20, and some here run 305/30/20.
2. Many of us also have lowered springs.
Put these two together and suddenly 25 mm spacers cause the tyres to rub on the rear fenders.

Yeah, I get much better traction (bigger patch) with the 35 series tires with 30-35 psi, plus helps fill the gap. 295/30/20 at stock 36 psi spun like crazy. As opposed to running 305/30/20 which I feel would do the same, since the camber is so steep on the F-Type, I don't think it would help much going wider. Less psi in the 30 series worried me while driving on the streets since there's less rim protection against pot holes.
Looks good.
