Long time listener, first time user to this forum. Im looking into wheel spacers for a 2016 echo boost to move stock wheels and tires out about 1 inch. Any input will be helpful. Good idea, bad idea, uneven bearing wear and clearance problems? I have worked with american muscle for parts in the past and was looking at their billet aluminum hub centric spacers.

Those are fine, that's what I'm using on my EB PP. We have several threads on here talking about them. Those black ones that just say Billet Aluminum Hubcentric Spacers are from Coyote, that's what I have and have been running them for almost 2 years 30k miles.

I have to second the American Muscle Coyote ones. Good experience so far.

Another converted n00b / lurker here, and sorry to hijack off this, but when running the spacers and bringing the wheel out flush with the wheel well, does this increase the risk of road debris and rocks getting thrown back against the fender and causing paint damage?

I've seen some awkward products such as mud flaps, but am wondering if this is really necessary when running a flush wheel.

The rears on my stock tires definitely stick out farther now so technically you can for sure kick up rocks that do some damage. Have I had it happen to me yet? Nope, but there are people on here that have had that issue

Coyote spacers are great regardless of where you get them, no need to pay for over priced eibach spacers. Do NOT buy the cheap knock off $30 spacers off amazon though. I tried that and got a warped spacer. Took me a month to get my money back.

I have a little different set up, story with mine though.

I have a GT PP and started with coyote 25mm all around, but with my lowering springs the rear were a little too close and rubbed. Swapped to 20mm (the Chinese knock offs I had an issue with). Then found the coyote 20mm on amazon for about 45-50 bucks. still have the original 25mm coyotes up front.
