Default Front Wheel Spacer

I just installed all new adjustable front suspension. After my alignment my wheels are tucked a little further into my wheel wells than I like. I'm thinking some spacers will fix my issue. How big of a spacer can I SAFELY run on the front. I was thinking 1/4" or 1/2", I just don't want to have only a few threads of the lug nut on the stud.

1/4" tops with out longer studs . . . best to attempt to find a hub/wheel centric one.

I guess I need to do some measuring, cause 1/4" isn't enough, but 1" might be too much.

Where would I get longer studs? Part numbers from Jegs or Summit?

I also had this problem. With the adapters in the back the rears sit flush with the fenders. The fronts appeared too far tucked in.

I used the Eibach Spacer kit 90.6.15.003 It comes with two 15mm(1/2") spacers and Grade 10.9 longer studs. They hub centric and wheel centric. I got the info about the spacers in this threads https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...ll-w-pics.html

what ever you do don't run any spacers with the stock studs...they are garbage and will
break off real easy.

get ARP's extended studs.

if you need help

I have some ARP's and spacers that I can sell you.
