which wheel spacers - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

I wanna bring the front stock wheels out a little to make it flush with the fender but I don't know which spacer to get so can I get some pics of stock wheels with spacers

I guess you need to pull the wheel out and try to guess how thick the spacer needs to be.

you can run 1/4 spacer with stock studs.. should look nice.. im thinking i might do the same.

Here's stock wheels with a 1/4" spacer. About -1.5* camber.

Anything bigger will require longer studs. Even now I'm a hair away from 6 threads of engagement which is really the minimum you should have. I'll be running 1/2" spacers in the future if I can find someone to install new studs for me.

that looks good. i have 5/16", should i get extended studs?

If you want to get rid of that Neg 1.5 camber, get Adjustable Camber bolts from Sumitt Racing. Good price, and easy install. That way you'll make the wheel look flush with the fender if you the add 1/2" spacer. The more the wheel goes outside the more the neg camber shows. Not a great look.
