American Muscle 19" Staggered GT500 Wheels

Any one have these on their 2011 Mustang.

These came on my car and I noticed the rear lug nuts stick out further than the ones on front wheels.

Called AM and they said that their lug nuts should not do this. However if the front ones are the same as the back then I would have same result. AM said they are all the same lenght.

Went to Pep Boys and they did not have anything different that what is on car.

If anyone has these can you let me know if you have the same issue.

I've never seen any issues like this, but we can definitely look into it for you. Post up some pictures of your car, so we can check out what you're seeing!

You can view customer submitted images on our website and you'll see what our wheels and lug nuts look like! I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!

I have the 2013 AM Gt500 wheels, i can post pictures of them on my 2011. I got the gloss black acorns from AM, and they all sit flush front and rear. Could car have a spacer or longer studs?

I have the 2010 GT500's in 18" and have the same fitment with the lug nuts. The front are flush and the rear stick out. I think it has to do with the offset on the 10" rears.

Its the offset and the fact that they are a concave wheel , every wheel that is designed as a concave rear wheel will have this effect on the lugs.

Info on lugs

Thanks for all your input and confirmation of same condition with offset 10" wide rear wheels.

They work fine however would look better if they sat flush like the front.
