Sweet! Did they just bolt up like that or did you need spacers?

They require 1/4" spacers up front, as well as the unique LS lugnuts.
The rear wheels are a little tucked in, so I may consider some small spacers back there too.
I'm going to drive it for a while and regularly check the lugs. If I see any problems, I'll swap the tires over to my 7-spokes and sell the LS wheels.

That's the rim that should have come on the later MN-12's from the factory. Nice look to it!

Yep, it needs that spacer in the back. I have seen Mark VIIIs with LS wheels, looks pretty good and I haven't heard of any complaints about the spacers. Good luck!
