I just tried putting on the wheels spacers I bought from AM 1in Billet Aluminum Wheel Spacers (Pair) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! and my tire won't fit properly. My stock studs are to long and hit the tire. How the heck am I suppose to get these to fit? Can I buy smaller studs? I thought this was going to be an easy process.

If you look on that link there is a note that says They won't fit factory wheels, only aftermarket

Whats my options for stock rims? Would the MM spacers work that use the stock studs? They are only a 1/2".

Yea those look like they'd work and there isn't anything saying they won't work. Try contacting the company to make sure

You should be using aftermarket studs with spacers anyway. So just buy hardened studs that are slightly shorter in lenght. Then they will fit AND you'll have added safety insurance
