    You have to cut the factory lugs studs if you go with a 1". 1-1/2" you will be fine.

    They work. I put over 500 rwhp on mine with slicks and never had issues. I ordered the correct offset wheels and removed them. Can sell them cheap if interested.

    Yes, you will. The factory studs are 1.25" long, they will stick out past the spacer, and will not allow the wheel to sit flush on the adapter. Either cut the studs, or get a 1-1/2" spacer.

    listen to him. he is correct. just be sure to not over tighten the outside studs since its anchored in aluminum. i've seen some strip out. gary

    I was looking into some wheel spacers just for the hell of it and it got me wondering. Does anyone make wheel spacers that have a ridge or protrusion that would hold the wheel in place from vibration like the stock hub does? hubcentric is the term I am looking for I think.

    These are the ones I ran on my trucks and had zero issues with them. Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Technology JR does some nice work. Be sure to order your adapters with factory size studs in them or you might get 7/16" instead of 14mm.
