Here are a couple more pics at different angles. This is with 25mm spacers front and back.

I am currently running a set of 20mm hubcentric spacers on the front of my car designed for S197 Mustangs. The only difference is that they have 1/2" by 20 thread studs.

So I bought some open end 14mm by 1.5mm thread open end nuts to attach them to the car, then used some of the many older style lug nuts I had from my '07 GT500 laying about to attach the wheels.

4k miles so far, including a trip to Deal's Gap and many other mountain roads in NC for a week of serious flogging. No issues at all. Just have to remember to torque them to only 100 ft/lbs for the thinner studs.

Spent less than $50 on the spacers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381064348994?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

And then less than $10 on open nuts: http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-X-OPEN-E...f5b0e0&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=10&sd=201157869929
Please post pics!!! I'm very interested as I am thinking the same setup (20mm w/eibach).

Any rubbing on sportlines with those 25's? Did you guys have to grind down the stock studs to get the wheel on?

Is there a reason why you didn't put spacers on the front?

I don't ever trust the bolts attached to the spacer types. Seen too many snap in half, or shear the bolts out of the aluminum.
We see it every weekend we go to the off-road park. Bolders and big tires will break even the most hardcore Jeep axles. I'm betting sticky tires on the track won't apply that level of torque loading but I could be wrong.
