Those of you that got your spacers from American muscle please check your lug nuts that came with your set. I actually got 2 different length lug nuts included in my spacer kits. I was having an issue with a vibration and noticed that the lug nuts basically stuck out past the spacer on the rear and the wheel wasn't seating flush. AM is on it just wanted to throw it out there so people can be aware and not run into the same problem.
Hm, I'll have to keep an eye on that. I've driven up to about 50mph since I put them on yesterday and didn't notice anything. I'll have to take it out on the highway this weekend and see if it's all good.

On a side note, a further away pic of the spacers (and I got my stripes finally!!)

Got my AM adaptors in today, is anyone using loctite on the the mounting lugs? I plan to use red Loctite on male end, since I don't plan on removing them until I need rotors or save up enough for aftermarket wheels (At least a year away).

Ran out of sun light before i could get it back on the ground and get some miles on it to settle the springs. I took it to a friends place and he is ready to buy a set too.

I used blue on mine. I wouldn't go red honestly. medium is plenty along with proper torquing.

I had one lug nut that was off center on its tapping. I had 30 new lug nuts for these cars I got from eBay and cut the hat off to make it as short as the ones that came with and all good.

That's def one way to fix the problem. As long as the lug nuts aren't past the spacer your good. The stud sticks out a little but there is room for them. My car they stuck out and gave me the illusion they were seating but in reality they just seating on the lug nuts that were sticking out. Kinda scary if you think about it.
