1" spacers

[jbailer]

Looks good. Did you put them on the front and back?

Yes, both front and back. I was a little concerned about running 1" spacers on the front and asked multiple times on the forum for a technical reason why it would be harmful. All I got was things like,

• I wouldn't run over 1/4" in the front
• It'll put too much stress on the front end
• It's too much stress on the stock lugs

I did quite a bit of research and couldn't find anything other than these kind of comments. Nothing that said something like the spacer widening the front will damage your XXXXX because of XXXXX.

On the contrary, I found that people road racing BMWs use 20mm spacers very common. The goal is to actually put the wheel in the correct position for maximum performance. While I'm enjoying the added performance from a wider stance, I really wanted the looks. As I mentioned after lowering the car, the wheels just looked lost, tucked under the fenders so far. The wheel spacers make them look much more aggressive, the car actually looks lower.

To be honest, I would have been more comfortable with 20mm spacers (about .75"). Not because of "extra stress", that 1/4" would have given me a little peace of mind with clearance and kept it inside the fenders a little better. As you can hopefully see from the pictures, it's not like they stick out and look weird like I see kids doing with their econo racers.

Curious if anyone has test fitted these with the 19" "wheel and stripe " package wheels? I'm planning on ordering after I get back from vacation. Hopefully they'll be back in stock by then.

Having them installed with the springs on Wednesday and I cant wait!

Alex my order says backordered now. It's just not meant for me to have these spacers.

Just got an email saying 6-7 weeks to get my spacers.

Hey Bran - Sorry about the delay and drop in communication last Friday, I had to leave early unexpectedly. It's definitely meant to be and I'm not entirely sure what happened with the order but I'd like to refund you in full and still get you them if you'd like once they're due back in. This thread alone managed to get the spacers off our shelves a little faster than expected.

Tomorrow's a new day - Sorry about the trouble again but we should be getting them back sooner than later and we'll get you stanced out soon.

I still have my '08 and I daily a '14 EcoBoost F150 - If I didn't get the truck I was shooting for exactly what's in your driveway. Bravo. This is clean. I'm loving it!

Looks like I got the short end of the stick! They approved the order on July 10 to send out the one spacer to fix the problem I had with only one spacer being in the box, but I'm stuck on the backorder list like everyone else. Second time I've had to sit on the backorder list!

No big deal, these things are flying off the shelves. It will get here when it gets here. Alex already upgraded by shipping to overnight so I know they are doing their best

Sorry about that again sir! This thread is a direct result in them getting on back-order so quickly. We're working with our suppliers to get them back in stock and on your car as fast as possible! If there's anything I can do to make the wait easier don't hesitate to let me know.

Any idea when these *might* be back in stock? Not looking for a definitive answer or gonna burn you at the stake if it doesn't actually happen, just curious how long I have to wait to make my car sit right.
