Same as others have said. 1" Coyote all the way around but on Ford Performance springs. Front is flush rear has a bit of a poke on the stock 2018 PP wheel / tire combo. But definitely will hold me over while deciding on new wheels and tires.

I know that the 25's are the easiest to use because you don't have to change to longer studs or cut studs, but I can't handle any poke. Even the 20's with the stock PP wheels and tires has a little poke and I don't want to adjust the rear camber just to get it inside the fender and then have excessive wear on the inside of the tire. There's a member on here from the UK I believe that went with 15mm and they are perfect.

If you haven't seen my post on the "Wrenching on your S550" thread regarding my hassle with the Eibach spacers, check it out. I hope no other owner has to deal with it. Total PETA!! At least it gives me chance to change to 15mm.

Not sure what folks consider "Poke". Have 25mm spacers all 4 corners on Steeda progressive springs running the EB PP wheels and looks/rides perfect to me.

That doesn't look like poke to me!

[MENTION=29005]Dave2017GT[/MENTION] I had the same questions. I put 1" adapters on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and it handled kinda funky. Turns out it was the alignment.

If you think about it adding adapters wouldn't be any different than getting new wheels that fit flush.

Here's the current setup. The rears pop a bit.

My wheels are the Performance Pack wheels for the Ecoboost.
The Factory EB "Performance Pack" wheels are 19x9 with 45mm offset. Factory tire size is 255/40/19
The Factory GT "Performance Pack" wheels are 19x9 45mm offset for front and 19x9 52.5mm offset for rear. Factory tire sizes are 255/40/19 front and 275/40/19 rear.
So if you choose to run a wider tire than the factory size, then I suppose it could "poke" out further. Hope that helps.

I never heard that term until seeing it over and over here on the forum. "Poke" is when the tire sticks out further than the fender. If you put 25mm spacers on the back of a GT with the Performance Pack wheels and tires, they stick out of the fender.

The EB w/ PP uses a 9 " wheel in the back and different size tire than the GT. Not sure what the offset is. GT PP wheels are 9 1/2" in back. Even a 20mm in back depending on tire manufacturer and alignment will give you a bit of poke.

Your EB looks perfect!! No poke. LOL

Unless you tweak your alignment in back (probably a lot), the 20mm will still not run flush with the fender, even with the stock tire size, let alone a larger tire. If you want to keep the larger tire and not have it sticking out from the fender, run a 15mm.

That looks sweet! Isn't it amazing what a set of springs and spacers can do to transform your Mustang?! Now if we could just get Ford to set it up this way from the factory....:ford:

You are correct. I forgot to put the .5 after the 9 for the width of the rear GT PP wheel. Thanks for the compliment and it is a GT and not an EB. Bought the wheels off of craigslist cheap because I wanted black wheels.

stock 19x8.5 et42.5, 25mm spacers, 1'' lowered. 20mm is perfectly flush on stock alignment, but imo it's not worth trimming your studs. it's never rubbed on me even during autox events. the PP wheel offset is 3mm more aggressive than these. pretty much unnoticeable.
