Stock GT PP Wheels Rears in the Front

[KWK GT]

Do I need a spacer to run the wider rear rims on the front? If so what is the correct setup to make this square? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do I need a spacer to run the wider rear rims on the front? If so what is the correct setup to make this square? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ideally, a 15-20mm hub-centric wheel spacer with studs on the front and rear would be needed and look the best, but I'm not sure if the 15mm or 20mm spacers would require cutting and shortening the wheel studs to fit in the pockets on the Ford GT PP wheels. If you have to shorten the studs with 15mm or 20mm wheel spacers, it would essentially force you to keep wheels spacers on the car at all times since the factory wheel studs would be too short to securely mount the OEM wheels directly to the hub without the spacers.

For certain, a 25mm spacer would be needed on the front and rear to make the 19x9.5's fit on both front, but to also keep the rear from looking funny and tucked under the car.

With the 25mm spacer, this essentially takes the 19x9.5 Rear GT PP wheels with 52.5mm offset and turns them into a 19x9.5 wheel with 27.5mm offset that will set flush with the front and rear fenders, or 6.33" backspacing with 3.17" forward.

I would prefer to leave the rear without spacers and only run spacers on the front. Does anyone have a picture of their car who has done this along with a description of what they used for spacers?

IMO - this would be a sub-optimal setup, widening the front track as well as widening the tire and wheel width up front without widening the rear should increase oversteer, which is not a good thing on a high power rear wheel drive car.

yes a 5 mm spacer is what you need.

Not the best pics.
19x9.5 275/40/19 with 1" spacers all the way around.
No issues. Dropped 1.5/1

Looks awesome.

Agreed looks really good! Thanks for the pic

 

[Need4SpeedMotors]

I did 1.25" spacers all around and 275/40/19 on front with OEM 9.5J
