We installed moser's 3inch wheel lug studs it was very easy and are $13 @vichubbards for a pack of 5 $19 at winchester auto parts for a pack of 5. Im running 3/8 spacers on my fox with 275s with stock wheel lug studs and i have no problem at all been using for over 8months now. On both cars were using cheap $25 wheel spacers from goodies speedshop, which can also be purchased from oreilly. But if your trying to use 1inch spacers definitely use the spacers with the wheel lug studs attatched. [/qb][/QUOTE]When it comes down to safety, I would never go by "word of mouth". Just because something "works", doesn't mean it's safe. It sounds like you could get away with using 3/8 spacer, but I wouldn't recommend This is straight from Maximum Motorsports, I'm pretty sure they know what they are talking about. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/ 3/8" thick MM wheel spacers. Fits 5-lug Mustangs, 1979-2010, pair The physics of keeping the wheels on: Wheel Spacer Tech Slips on, over the car's wheel studs Longer wheel studs are usually required with these 3/8" spacers. You must check the amount of wheel stud thread engagement on your car to ensure that at least 6 threads are fully engaged in the lug nut after installing the wheel spacer. 1979-93 Mustangs: Fits only those converted to Ford 5-lug pattern Designed and manufactured by Maximum Motorsports CNC machined from lightweight aluminum-alloy Precision ground on each side to ensure parallelism [/qb][/QUOTE]tottally dude, safety first foreal. i dont prefer going the cheaper route over safety, its basicly what i can afford at the time and works for me. If u have the money get the mm [/QB][/QUOTE]
