Where I live we have speed bumps from hell to slow down the cataracts with cadillacs. That has kept me from lowering mine so far. Fred

i was thinking about that but if i put like 3/8 ' spacer doesnt it mean the lugnuts are less reliable i mean just kind of scary not having the lugnuts all the way in ?

Put a 1" hubcentric spacer on it. Then you don't have to worry about the lugs, and it would fill out the rear end nicely.

Get adapters to adapt to the same lug patter. They will go on with nuts onto the regular studs. Then they have their own studs to put the wheel onto and have the lugs fully on. Best way to do it.

3/8th's spacer isn't nearly enough for the offset you've got going on. Those also aren't hubcentric, are they? Which means you're going to lose almost 1/2" of you lugstud to the spacers.

The side skirts are being prepared them put on. Like I said I bought the car like a project and it had to replace hella stuff. So I mean wheels look awesome in person. Spacers are still in search
and I will be lowering it later.
