Yes I think some subtle spacers would be nice particularly for the ones with flares in the back. Actually I wouldn't mind front flares as well ! Anyway, you guys know a good only source to order lug bolts? Also, what are the stock lug bolt specs?

I have 15mm all around and also have front flares. I'm happy with the 15s but I think 20mm would be fine as well.

Anyone of you has a spacers from http://motorsport-tech.com/index2.htm
That's where I want to get it from, They do custom work, They got v. good feedback, lifetime warranty and cost less than H&Rs or bilsteins

I have either 20 or 30mm spacers in the rear, totally forgot, but they pushed my wheel right to the fender, and is now flush with the body.

25 out back is perfect for 4.6 wheels with fender flares. 10 is perfect for the front although they do not make them. 5s are good enough, and cheap too.

Im getting a custom spacers right now and I got few questions,
Should I go with a flat spacer and run longer bolts,
Or should I get these with new studs coming out???? I was thinking second and right now I need to know if our 20's style 87 has pockets in between the mounting holes????

Thanks, I had a feeling sooner or later somebody would say that and also I couldnt wait any longer so I went with flat spacers and longer bolts

Anyone got pics of their X's with the spacers and wheels on? Would like to see the look, especially anyone with the flared fenders or 4.6 / 4.8.
