Anyone running 197 wheels on your SN95 / New Edge? If so, spacer you needed (heard it's 1")?

You can borrow one of Ol Paint's 18" Bullitts if you need to check fitment.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
Rick, a 1" spacer should be plenty, are you talking about OEM or aftermarket wheels? Typically the SN95 wheels are in the +24 to +30 offset range depending on width, and the S197 wheels are +45 to +50. If it's a 9.5" wheel, those are +45. So a 1" spacer will leave you at +20, which would fit on your car, but be out pretty close to the fender. What would probably be better is a 3/4" spacer, something like these, but then you would have longer studs all the time:

Also, a bit out of the way for you to come, but you are welcome to borrow one of the 9.5" Steeda wheels off my car to test fit, they are also +45.
cheers

Lots of good info, thanks Ed.
Link also shows they make a cool removal / installer, nice.
Only downside to the longer studs, would need open end nuts for my street wheels.
Was hoping the swap would use a 1" bolt on spacer, can't afford to be extra snug to the fenders on lapping days.
Will do, thanks Scott.
Not the best picture but I think you will see what I mean.

Mint, keeping that option open as well.
