Are the MM11's a 42 offset? K-Dawg is this with your Kazera's?

Yes, the MM11s have a 42mm offset. It's stamped on the backside of the wheel. Those pictures are of the MM11s.

Do you guys know where longer wheel studs can be bought?

Sold by Dorman, for example. However, you won't be able to find a longer stud with the same knurl size as your present studs. IOW, you'll have to go with a bigger knurl size and thus you'll have to drill your hubs to allow for proper fitting of the larger knurl.

It can be done....cause I did it...

I redrilled my rear hubs and fitted 10mm longer studs.

Be careful on the drilling...or take it to a machine shop.

No need to cut the rear fender lips...you can simply roll them to get enough clearance. Cutting may cause the inner fender to seperate from the quarter panel and lead to more problems than you'd care to deal with.

On a Gen II this is not a good idea if you really wanna push the wheels out...cause the tires will actually rub where the fender meets the molding.

The problem is the idiot who design the SHO didn't center the rear wheels in the wells. Instead, for some reason, the wheels were moved about an inch forward. Thus the tire actually rubs on the front part of the rear fender.

I don't know anything about the Gen I except I know the fender lip problem is worse than on a Gen II.

I got 3mm spacers for the rear for the MM11's. Ill see if it will clear. I was told it will be fine.
