Slip on spacer

[Redfuzzbutt]

Going with a 11" squared setup on the wheels, it's overkill but whatever. I saw someone here recommend opmustang for the spacer, but it appears they have been out of stock on their 25mm spacer.

Any other trusted sources when it comes to the 1" spacer or am I overthinking it all? TIA

I would care most for the quality of the extended studs you’ll need than for the slip on spacers’.
I researched quite a bit and ended up keeping it stock, I found it cumbersome and pricey.

Duly noted. Going with the ARP 3" studs, unless there is an obviously better choice.

But when I say "obviously better", within the same realm of price of the ARP and not for extreme situations. Haven't heard anything negative about the ARP studs.

ARP are well known for their good quality, OP has some great ones as well.

Apex (the wheel guys) make some nice, high-quality spacers. I've run them for a couple of seasons, no issues.

A lot of Customers have gone to 28mm spacers, gives more clearance for 315 tires.
I personally run 31's because I have a lot of camber at the strut at the moment.

Is it possible to swap to the longer studs and slip on spacers but trim the studs so you can still used closed end lug nuts? I hate the open end lug look on a street car.

Customers do it all the time. Depending on the spacer and wheel, the studs may not need any trimming.

Certainly not opposed to going with a 28 and an extra 3mm shouldn't make much of a difference, but going with a 50 offset, was hoping to keep it as tight as possible.

Car is primarily a weekend toy, have yet to see a track or formal event.

a +50 is already out 2mm from an APEX wheel, a 23mm spacer would be ideal.

CJ Pony Parts Acceletec spacers are high quality and fair price. 1" size is offered.

yeah 31mm here too. 315s on 11” front wheels.

2nd Apex if OP doesn't have them.

Another vote for Apex if OP is out.

Apex wheel, Apex spacer, OP coated lug nuts and slightly used rotor.
