This is the issue. It just takes a little grinding, no big deal.

I only drive that car every now and again though. So I see no reason people should be afraid of spacers. Oh/ and call me crazy but I only check torque on that car prolly twice a year
, I put maybe 5k miles a year on it.

The 1/4" ones just slide over your existing lugs and you still use them to bolt your wheel to...just have less lug to bolt to now and its shear point is more towards the middle of the lug. Think of it this way, if you have a small tree you are trying to break, its a lot harder to break it at the base of the tree than in the middle of it. I wouldn't be afraid of the spidertrax type since you still get to mount to the base of the lugs on it as I stated.

I drove it around the block and am very pleased! Thanks again for all the help!! I don't have a good picture because it's in the garage and I couldnt get far enough away, but you get the idea.

What's up with the alloy usa spacers? They were expnsive so that meen their durable? I have a 4" lift using the stock wheels(moabs) so I needed spacers. I see everyone talking bout spidertracks but haven't heard a word bout alloys? ?
