      I run a Vintage Venom spacer kit. 1" spacer and new studs to run 99-04 wheels on my Stang. Never had a problem.

        I just found out they are out of business.

          Yeah I was lucky to get them when I did. I kept trying to convince my brother to go ahead and at least buy the parts for his 66'. Even bought him 2003 Cobra calipers for the 13" rotor as a present.

          Guess he's stuck on drums for a while.

          I actually merged my Venom kit with Mustang Steve's brake kit and now enjoy 4 wheel disc...although without a power booster.

            Also, I have 1.25" spacers on the 66 to fit my 18's but I had to machine the hub centric portion off because they didn't slip over the fat Granada hubs. That may be a non-issue for you though.
            Did you machine them, or have a shop do it?

              Anyone with a lathe can do it. You could probably even grind or dremel the hub centric portion out.

                Yabut my Dremeling would be nowhere as balanced as some expert attention with a lathe.

                  alignment before of after installing spacers or does it make a bit of difference? getting new tires this week, and don't wanna get an alignment twice if i can avoid it.

                  god bless.

                    Spacers do not change your alignment brotha.

                      kinda what i was thinking, but i can also see a case for giving negative camber? prolly not at just 1-1.25 inch spacer like i am looking for but maybe. but then again i am an idiot. thanks!

                        No worries brotha, if this is on your Jeep, if so I do not recommend any crazy ass wheeling with them.
