I'm running into a bit of a predicament as I'm wanting get some 10.5's out back to go with some 335 Hoosiers. I currently run a 1" bolt on spacer out back on my stock 17x9's along with my Prostars, I need to retain use of the 1" spacer for my Prostars. My problem is I had to cut the stock lugs out back to fit the prostars with the spacer, so with removing the bolt on spacer and using a slip on style spacer to fit the 10.5's I'm going to be short a couple threads. I want to make sure when I bolt on the wheels with the spacer I'm going to have enough threads to hold the wheel to the car safely. Anybody local have a spacer I can test fit before I go through the hassel of purchasing these wheels/tires and spacers?

I have 1/4" spacers on the back of my cobra let me know i can pull one off. I will say even with just the 1/4 inch spacer and stock length studs there aren't very many threads but if you want to try it let me know.

Just for my own info...are these safe to use? The spacers that have their own studs on them, you bolt the spacer to the axle via the axle studs and wheel to the spacer studs. I was going to get some new wheels that I like, but they need the spacer to compensate for the off set. I was not sure and I did not want to take a chance of getting on it, hooking and having something break..........thanks in advance. :confused:

Thanks Chris, I'll shoot a pm once my car is done at Daryll's house and we can figure out a time to meet.

I've been running my car that way for the past two years with no problems, both on my BFG's and slicks.
