1" spacers

[jbailer]

For those wanting more details on fitment, here are some pics that should help. Keep in mind, mine is the EcoBoost with the 19x9" Performance Pack wheels and 255/40/19 tires. I have the 1" spacers from American Muscle. First I thought they were slightly too wide in the back but after seeing them, I think they are perfect.

First pic is the front tire. I stuck a coin on a piece of tape. It looks further away than it is in the pic. The tape is about 1/8" away from the tire in this picture.

The second pic with the ruler, the tape is almost touching the bulge in the sidewall of the tire. Hopefully you can see on the ruler it is about 1/4". Notice also though that the tread is completely under the fender, so is the wheel itself. Just the sidewall protrudes a1/4".

The 3rd pic is a close-up of the spacer and the 4th pic is from a little further back but still close up so you can see what it looks like.

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.

Not sure if it helps but on the website it went from 4-5 weeks down to 3-4.

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!

It's my first white car and I have no regrets. I can't stop looking at it and I've had it for about 3 months haha.

I will take the exact same pic after I get the spacers on for others to see at that angle.

This post is perfect! Thank you! Been contemplating 1" spacers with my 19 x 8.5 wheel on 255/40/19 tire but concerned about too much poke. I believe my wheel has a 2.5mm greater offset than yours (or do I have that backwards?) but either way I should be good with the spacers from AM. Thanks again for doing this!

Your very welcome, happy to help!

OK, please stop everybody. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to have to wait 6-7 weeks to get my spacers!!!

I do have to admit that these pics all look amazing. I'm itching to get mine on.

I wanted to share some things it says on the box the wheel spacers came in:

• NEVER MODIFY a Coyote Wheel Adapter
• NEVER REMOVE the factory-installed studs on a Coyote Wheel Adapter.
• NEVER USE an impact wrench for adapter installation.
• Do not stack multiple adapters on a single wheel.
• To avoid excessive loads on a vehicle's suspension components, it is recommended that the vehicle manufacturer's original offset be maintained. Excessive positive offset can be dangerous and can cause suspension component failure.
• Modified vehicles may not meet local or state requirements for use on public streets. Always research and adhere to federal, state and local laws regarding the use of wheel adapters.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions included on this package.

Hey Josh - Sorry about the delay. I can't stress it enough that with the help of this thread alone we literally went out of stock faster than you can say Cat in the Hat. We're looking at a turnaround time of about 7-8 weeks but I'm hoping that they're going to drop sooner than later. I really appreciate everyone's patience in here that's ordered and if there's anything I can do to make the wait easier don't hesitate to let me know.

Looking very good sir! Thanks so much for posting this up as well, I along with many others really appreciate you going the extra mile to provide this info, every bit helps! Any way I could ask for some shots about maybe 10ft back from the car? I have a friend with an EB that's asking!

So I've tried to read through this whole thing, and wasn't able to find if anyone tried these with the GT 18" wheels.

Confirmed to work with the pockets in the back of the wheel?

And any pics from anyone?

And shouldn't be any issues on the track or autocross course??

Excellent! I swear, whites going to be next. I have a habit of flipping cars really quickly. It's exactly what I wanted once they first started hitting lots. Looking forward to seeing pictures soon and I'm sorry about the warehouse mishap!

Murph - Happy to hear that these guys we're able to help get you there but now I'm wondering on the ET's on your wheels. I wouldn't anticipate that they would be any different but don't quote me on this! Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can lend a hand with in the meantime.

Sorry about the delay! I promise we're working with our vendor to get these back on our shelves and on your car as fast as we can!

:lol:


5starr0 - Thank you! You brought up a really great point here. Post installation it's best "not" to feed your spacers after midnight as if you're to do so they could multiply at an alarming rate. I would also add that we suggest not driving the vehicle in wet conditions either as they could also experience rapid growth and it's also a great idea to keep these spacers away from direct sunlight as well.

Minion - Good question and I don't believe anyone's run these on a GT with 18's just yet. If I had them in stock I would shoot you out a set to test fit but worst case scenario if you're to have them ordered and there's a fitment "gremlin" we would cover the shipping back for a full refund.

As per running hubcentric spacers either on a road course or an Auto-X there's going to be a couple schools of thought here and I'll share my personal experience from running ST class what feels like over a decade ago.

(note I didn't have them on my car at the time and if you know your classes you'll be able to establish what I was driving back then too)

Some think that you're running a risk by using them and that they're downright dangerous. Even for street use. I'm not trying to scare anyone/make you guys feel concerned but if they're not torqued down correctly it could result in a real nightmare and I've seen this in person, it's not pretty.

There's other guys out there that have run them religiously without any issues at all and will stand by them. I'd also note that checking them periodically would be a great idea as well to ensure that they're torqued down right!
