    Looks good but that would give mine way too much stance.

    Exclamation

    MyBlackBeasts - Use this style spacer: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tgi-140002-2-kit
    Would NOT recommend those, or any other, that are not hub-centric.

    Reason: The wheels of the Panther platform vehicles (the Marauder being one of that family) are NOT lug-centric, and therefore require a hub-centric adapter.



    *In case the image is a no-show ... <PIC>

    You MAY (?) get lucky, and/or fortunate enough, not to get wheel wobble, however, wouldn't count on it and risk catastrophic failure and damage.

    Eibach and H&R (pricey) make high quality hub-centric wheel adapters. *Have used both.

    ezaccessory @ eBay® has quality hub-centric wheel adapters for even less $$$$$, and several have used them (including me).

    gdmjoe: I didn't say to use those, just the double stud style, the link was an illustration not the exact part. I wasn't going to chase down the exact p/n fo him. When I bought mine from Motown he sent the MM specific spacers with the wheels and they worked flawlessly for me as they did for him. I sold them to Musclemerc and Travis made no mention of any issues.

    After a few years I got bored and came up with a new plan so I sold them to pursue it.

    Did You cut off the excess factory studs that stick thru the spacer?

    I thought the whole point of only widening the wheel 1.5 inches is so that a 295/45/18 clears everything. No spacer needed? What in the world would you need to widen it 1.5 and also add a 1.5 "double stud style" spacer....????? My guess would be that the wheel was widened 2 inches and did not clear...... I just spoke with Roger yesterday..... 1126rwhp!!!!!

    They were widened 3", not 1.5 they are 11" wide so need 1.5 spacer since 1.5 wider

    If the adapter is less than 1¼" thick, the nipple (for lack of a more betterer term of the unthreaded tip of the stud) will need to be trimmed since the back of the Marauder's rim mounting surface does not have indentations to accomodate.

    Yep. Use this style spacer (as in the 2nd set of studs style) - not use this spacer. No prob.

    No need, the OEM studs and the spacer nuts fit inside the 1.5" spacer.

    Not me. Got beat at the last second. Guess I'll have to increase my budget.
    If the winner doesn't come through pm me, I still need at least 2 wheels and widened would be ideal.
