How are we looking on the ETA? Is 2-3 weeks a legit lead time?

Why exactly are these not going to work?

I have had mine on order for 3 weeks.

Wow, what a HUGE difference. Looks fantastic. Would you mind posting a shot from the side?

And are those 25mm all around?

Here are mine. I got the garageline spacers. Pricy but man do they look nice and high quality. Haven't lowered it yet I have steeda progressive springs in my truck I'm about to install. This is with stock ride height. Sorry took so long to get a side pic.

They will work, But you have to be willing to purchase 2 new sets of lug nuts. One set of open ended to mount the adapters, and 1 set of lug nuts to mount your wheels. Our cars use 14x1.5 lugs, and older cars use 1/2" lug nuts.

Also, the guys at AM were telling me the fronts could lead to premature front suspension / joint wear or something a long those lines.

That's correct sir!

Alex

Yea thats whats holding me up as well. Sounds like clearly if you had an issue with the front at all, this would be voiding any warranty coverage. Which is annoying, because I agree it makes the stance that much better.

This was another reason I was thinking 15mm or 20mm, to see if that reduced he wear on the joins/suspension. :shrug:

This is sadly something that we all do. We pay to play and I hate to sound blunt/brash but I'm doing it myself right now with a brand new truck that's tuned.

We're just car people and we like to tinker, modify, improve upon. Hobbies are hobbies and I'm sure there's some beer nerds, musicians, craftsmen, gun guys etc. We're all modding the toys.

As per the 15 to 20mm it's just a very, very small difference. If I need to get a micrometer up in here let me know and I'll do it!

Another photo, rears only.

Jrod - That's fantastic! Thanks so much for the shot it's downright dirty.

I'm digging he color theme here too.

[AMAlexLazarus]

I have mine on order through AM. I am doing both front and rear.

Thank you very much for your patience sir. I know it's like pulling teeth waiting for parts (Believe me I'm waiting on something as we speak)

We're working with our vendor to get these instock, on the shelves, shipped and on many of your cars as fast as possible!

Alex

Had my spacers installed love the look. I have steeda springs but they are not installed yet. I'm sure it will look even better lowered. Excuse the dirty ass car lol.

HELLO! Looking good sir!

Alex

 

[AMAlexLazarus]

Thanks, Alex. I already have the code.

WD - I just wanted to make sure. I've been speaking with a lot of people as of recent and between this thread, your PM's and wrapping up a few "special" builds for our car show I've been getting spread a little thin.

I'm doing my best to get back to everyone as fast as possible!

LIUTOFSIK - Silver beat me to the punch on this (Thank you sir) Let us know if you're to have any other questions, there's a lot of brains in this thread.

Absolutely legitimate - We're pushing as hard as we can to get these in stock as fast as possible.

I really appreciate everyone's patience working with me and AmericanMuscle here.

How does this cause premature wear on anything? If I install aftermarket wheels with different backspacing/offset which pushes the wheel further out isn't this the same thing from a physics standpoint?

Thank you for posting this. I was coming here to post the same exact question. I wonder that every time I see a "spacers are bad" comment.

When my comment was made, that Alex replied to, we were talking specifically about the 20x10 AMR wheel with 7.4" backspacing and a +48 offset, not all aftermarket wheels or spacers in general
