Hi all!

I have a 20' ST with the street pack I believe. It has the bigger rotors/brake kit w/ the 21s. I noticed that the wheels sit a little tucked in. I'd like to get them to be pushed out a smidge. And than I'd like black lug nuts, cause IDK why Ford would put cheap looking ones on a black wheel set. Recommendations fr products on these?

Also - Can spacers cause problems to the wheel or driving? Doesn't require an alignment I assume?

If you just want them out a smidge you can purchase some generic 1/4 IN billet slip on adapters from eBay. Just make sure they are hub centric to 70.8 mm.

If you want more of a stance than 1/4 more than stock, Bora makes the best spacers for that. Since the wheels studs aren’t long enough for any larger slip on spacer than 1/4 (and it isn’t recommended to get a larger slip-on spacer than 1/4 IN no matter what vehicle), make sure you get forged or billet spacer from a reputable company with a good warranty like Bora.
No alignment needed after spacers.
