Just got some fr500s in for my 93 2wd. I did some test fitting before work. The rears fit perfect. Flush with the bed side. Naturally the fronts aren't as easy. I gently snugged some lugs on to see that there is a gap between the center of the rotor and the wheel. Also the center cap had to be removed and the dust cap stuck through the hole. I don't mind a small spacer for the rotor gap. But as of now the wheels are flush with the fender lip. I don't want to space them out farther. Plans for the truck include lowering. I do want the center caps on though. Are there any alternatives to spacers? Maybe a smaller dust cap or something? Planning on going to summit tomorrow. I'll grab pics after work tonight if I remember. I'll add a link to the exact wheels shortly as well thanks guys.

I ran 5 mm spacers on the front of my 94 to accommodate the dust caps on some stock cobra wheels.

To compensate for losing 5 mm of thread with the standard length lug studs, I used ET (extended thread) lug nuts.

Worked great, I had no issues whatsoever.
 
Put some 5/16" spacers on the front I'm content but my lug threads are questionable. I'll get some et lugs tomorrow and I'll feel better about it. Still no center caps for now.

also did a shackle flip for some rear drop.

Thanks. They're out of an 85ish mustang.
