Good afternoon from Spain. Sorry for my English as it´s not my native languaje.
Above all, much encouragement and strength to win the battle against this terrible COVID bug that has seeped into all countries. We are spending really hard days inside the house without being able to leave.
I introduce myself. It is my first message. I am a proud owner of a 2016 Mustang GT. Although they are now sold in Europe, it is still an exotic car here, and I love having it. It is so special, and more so here in Europe, so different from European cars.
By the time this nightmare is all over, I'm looking to change the OEM wheels my car brings. Due to the technical inspection restrictions of vehicles in Spain I cannot put the magnificent wheels that are seen in this forum. I have to adapt to the restrictions, and I have to give up wheels as beautiful as Project 6GR Seven, which do not come here, excepting importing with taxes, customs etc.
Still, the model that is finally going to be chosen I think it will be quite good: Zito ZF02 19x9.5 "ET40 mm Gunmetal. I want to keep, for the moment, the same tires that I have, 255/40/19 front and 275/40 / 19 behind.
Here comes my doubt.
I want to put this wheel both behind and in front. On a first look I thought I will have no problems, but I saw in some forum that a 1/4 "spacer would be necessary. From my calculations I thought that the spacer would not be necessary, since the ET40, smaller than the ET45 of origin, causes the rim to protrude outwards but would not affect the struts.
Do you think that with this configuration it will be necessary to put separators? I would try to avoid them.
Do you know if any of you have this wheel to know if it rubs with the brake caliper?
Thank you very much for your kind help.
Mucho ánimo y fuerza desde España.
