also with a 1" spacer when you take the wheels off make sure the lugs aren't bent cause 1" is alot. you might not even be on many threads be careful

The spacer itself has its own lug studs pressed into it, so you bolt up the spacer to the original car's studs, and then you bolt the wheel up the studs coming out of the spacer.

those are a BAD idea. take them off and get WS6 bump stop spacers. wont hit the wheels wells any more. those type of spacers are for shit box imports that make 12 hp. on any car with a good amount of torque will eventually shatter those spacers.
