Yup, got to shorten your stock lugs. I suggest 1.25" in the rear, looks good and less grinding on the lugs.

Re: running 1" whhel spacers on mach ?

I just reinstalled my factory Mach 1 wheels this weekend, in the back I'm running a 30mm Eibach wheels spacer which kicks out the factory wheel just shy of the edge of the rear fender. No modifications needed for this installation. I'll post pics later this morning.

Re: running 1" whhel spacers on mach ?

what about a bolt on front spacer for runners? woul you still have to cut back stock lugs.

I presume you mean studs not lugs; either way the spacers bolted on; no modification required.
