Help Please! Wheel Spacer issue

[15gtguy]

I bought 1" spacers from American Muscle that said they will fit 2015 mustang GT factory and after market wheels. I'm currently installing them and may have a fitment issue. My factory studs are sticking out from the spacer maybe 1/8" . Will this work or should I send these back? See Pictures.

Your wheels should have recesses on the back of the hub that will allow the lug stud to "tuck" into the hub. Should be fine.

That actually may still work, depending on your wheels, most wheels aftermarket have a cavity and that's where your original studs may land, as long as your wheel back pad sits flush on to the spacer you'll be good, trust me you'll know if its not flush, the wheel will have to wiggle. so check your wheel it just may sit properly.
if that douse not work then you'll need a bigger spacer or may i ask why a 1 inch spacer??

It will work fine on the stock wheels, as they have a recess on the back between bolt holes. It also works on the MMD wheels sold by AM, I have a pair of 20mm spacers on the front of my car with the 19x8.5 Zevens.

yeah, the studs are out too far and the wheel wont sit flush! crap! I guess I will have to send them back... :(

that's weird plenty of people here on the forums have them...check their thread on the american muscle section.

damnit! false alarm guys... It worked. One done! Pic for attention...

since the wheel is a high off set the cavity gets smaller.
youll need a bigger spacer so it hides your studs or a smaller spacer so you get enough turns on the nuts when torquing.

drive your car and have someone look at the wheels, i had a client where his rear wheels where wobbling everywhere like if they where about to fall yet the driver could not feel it but it was visible.
