Will hub centric spacers like the eibach 25mm fit onto my stock 18" wheels without having to cut any studs?

why would you think that studs would need to be cut? if anything using a nearly 3/4" spacer might necessitate a longer stud.

how about posting the exact part you want to use

Exactly what he said.

Depending on what kind of wheel you have depends on what kind of last you need. Most likely is a hubcentric wheel.

It can also be lugcentric, but I think that applies mostly to some after market wheels.

He's talking about a bolt-on adapter style spacer, not a slip-on over the original studs.

From my experience with a friend's older S197, the 1" spacer is not quite deep enough to clear the original studs. And Ford used the same studs from 2005-2014. So I'm thinking that you would need to cut down your OEM studs to clear the back of the wheels, or go with a slightly larger spacer size like 30 mm.

I guess the OP *assumed* that we would know he was talking about that type when he mentioned the size and brand ... :)

:insane:

yea, I could have googled it as well.

Now I have a question I'm not putting spacers on the front but is it okay to just to the rears? Will I have any issues?

The car will typically understeer more since you are increasing track width in the rear but not the front, but other than that it should be fine. Lots of SN95 and S197 owners have done rear spacers only for appearance reasons.

It would depend on the back of the wheel hub. If there are spaces between the holes for the studs you should be ok. I used those type spacers with open ended lug nuts to bolt the spacer on and didn't have an issue.
