Or you could get wheels that fit your car. Even with long ARP studs 30+mm spacers wouldn't leave all that much thread.

What i have learned with both my Z's is that the front needs more spacing than the rear to make them equal so actually i think I would of been better with 1.25" in the front and only 1" in the rear..
Thats odd, probably not true either. I'll bet a lot of money it is not true.

On both my Z's I put the same size spacers on all 4 corners and on both Z's the rear tires stuck out farther from the fender.. Right now my red one has 1.25" on all 4 and the fronts look perfect with the radious of the fenders blending perfect into the tires but the rear stick out about 1/2" to much to get the same results.. On my white Z I ended up with 10mm less in the rear to even them out..

Edit- But then again it all depends on what your wheel offsets are to begin with.. Not all wheel brands make the perfect offsets so you have to live with what they have and then compensate with spacers..

Typically spacers that large have there own studs. You bolt the spacer to the hub, and then bolt the wheel to the spacer.

Do you have a problem with vibration? These tires shops around here is telling me that i would get vibration if i go with spacers in the front.My wheels are 1.5 inches inside the well.Im planning on getting 1inch in the back but dont know what to get in the front.Maybe 1 inch on all 4 with the 20's im running.Do you think i will have any vib or rubbing issues?You car looks nice man.

Make sure u get quality "hubcentric" spacers and u shouldnt have a problem.. I had mine up to 120mph and didnt have any vibration issues at all.. I also have a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers on my 2012 Chrysler 300 and never had vibration problems on that one either. The tire shop is probably thinking of those cheap universal spacers, which are hard to get perfectly centered..
