I was considering these but I’m not so sure about wheel spacers. They mess with the suspension geometry as well as adding stress to the wheel bearings. They do add to the cool factor though.

@patricklb1 did they give you an ETA for your spacers? Looking to order mine, but the lead time looks crazy.

The website says 10 to 12 weeks but I ordered 8/28 and received a shipped notice on 9/7. I’ll have them Monday. I don’t know how I got so lucky but I’m not complaining lol. I just wish I could have gotten that lucky with my springs.

Love the look of spacers! I'll be ordering some for our new ST soon. IMO, sunken in tires/wheels on any vehicle doesn't look good. Improves handling some, too.

Do you guys think I would be ok with this 5mm hub centric spacer on the factory lug studs or would I need to install extended ones? Also as far as cutting the factory lug studs to use 1" spacers with the factory wheels, do you think an aftermarket wheel might not require cutting of the lug studs if it has pockets in the wheel?

Example:
