What are you guys torquing these things to? I torqued the spacers to 90 ft/lbs (box said 85-95) and torqued the wheels to 100 ft/lbs based on some posts here. Factory spec is 150 ft/lbs, but not sure if the studs on the spacers can handle that much.

BMR lowering springs. Front doesn't look flush in the pictures but it is. Couldn't go wider without rubbing in my opinion.

The item availability notification is horrible. I signed up to be notified when the spacers are available so why do I have an email this morning telling me it's 6-7 weeks out. It never notifies me when they're available, just when they're not. Luckily, last round I noticed on this forum because I didn't get notified...

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.

Branman - Thanks again for posting this and I'm sorry about the mix-up.

If anyone's seeing this on their sets please shoot us a call immediately so we can have you set up with a replacement.

Dammmm I just got the notification email that the next batch of spacers are 6-7 weeks ETA

Arsenalslr95 - Believe me I'm pushing the right people to get a move on this. I hate to sound like a broken record but this threads causing them to get onto backorder pretty quickly!

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!!)

Minion Looking good!

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

Thanks for getting this gent some help Bran!

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.

Black - Looking good man! Digging that driveway too, Lots of Ford right there.

At the end of the day if you have to modify them (You guys are like me) do what you need to do but I ultimately never want any of our customers to have to modify parts purchased from us as that's just bad business!

No matter the issue you're running into if the parts are purchased from AM I'd love to hear about it. I'll bend over backwards to make sure that everyone is beyond happy and satisfied with our parts along with service.

Thanks i appreciate it. It was one lug nut that was tapped off center. Thankfully i had more and cutting it down was a 2 minute ordeal. I imagine it was a manufacturing issue with the lug nut supplier. No big deal.

Ugh all these pictures......I want my spacers back on.

 

[Pootie_Stang]

Here are updated pics on 1.5in. spacers up front. Had them on for a week or so to observe how bad the rub would be. Only skims the plastic wheel well cover when hitting big dips and bumps. Hardly noticeable and I can only hear it when the windows are down. Keeping them on for the time being.
