Widening OEM PP Wheels (19x11)

[VertMustang98GT]

Tire. Nitto NT05 305/35ZR19. Color me surprised but the spacers were already black. Sweet.

What size spacer did you go with?

I'm thinking of going with 25mm.

The spacer is 1" (25.4mm) from AM. Also notice the recessed pockets next to the wheel stud holes. The spacers have been verified to work with these wheels without having to shorten the OEM studs. The 1" spacers won't rub the fenders either. I'll probably torque the spacer to 120lbs because the lugs are shallower. Then torque the wheel to spec.

Probably won't be able to verify fit until after the weekend due to work and the need to touch up the wheels. Looks promising though.

I went the other route and purchased 19x10 replicas from AmericanMuscle and mounted 305 drag radials on them.

Not a bad option at all.

Great, glad I had these 25mm's laying around.

I'll do a before and after since I'll have my stock OEM's as a spare rear set.

So, becuase the widdening increased offsett, you need to run big spacers?
