Hey guys, I'm looking at these and they look amazing. Not too familiar with spacers, is this anything that could void some part of the warranty? I've got a GT PP, not looking to lower it quite yet, but this would give it that aggressive stance I'm lookin for. Does it impact performance or ride much? I saw someone posting about it putting too much stress on the front, why would that be?

Any idea how much this is to have installed? looking to do some tasteful cheaper mods while the car is still young.
I wasn't very familiar with them either so I did a bunch of research and I'll share what I've learned. From what I've read, my interpretation is that on the front, extending the length makes it a little harder on ball joints and wheel bearings. So if you had a ball joint fail and tried to take it in for warranty replacement, they could say it is because of your spacers. However, ball joints and wheel bearings are regular wear items and probably not covered by warranty anyways.

The best information I found was with the BMW road racing community. again, my interpretation is that you want to place the wheels in the optimum spot which is as close to the inside edge of the fenders as you can get them without rubbing. It is very routine for BMWs to run with 20mm spacers all around for racing. If you think about it, a wider wheel base just makes it more stable. You mat slightly reduce turning radius but I'm sure that won't be noticed.

Any negatives to putting these on the rear? (IE. shaking / vibrating in steering wheel, increased inner tire wear)

If not, when I order my 20" American Muscle performance pack wheels in the next day or two I am deffffff adding these.
On the rear is where there is no concern or issue at all as long as you avoid the tire rubbing. These spacers are hub centric so they are locked to center by fitting right on the hub. No vibrating at all front or back.

In order to ensure we get one once they are back in stock, should we just place the order online now, to get on the waiting list essentially, or are you going to get enough on the next shipment to cover everyone and then some?

Minion - That's up to personal preference. From what I can see we have a fair amount coming to us and it's honestly up to you. Trying to get them here faster for you guys! I can't stress it enough how quickly they sold out because of this thread.

Minion - Awesome! You're going to love them. We better see some pictures once they're installed on the car as well. And I completely know how you mean on the parts. I got back to my place yesterday and found a package and it took me a few minutes so figure out what I bought for the daily.

Hey Alex, Don't know if this has already been asked but are there any plans of 20mm spacers from AM? I'm really on the fence about the 25mm with my 50yr AP wheels and tires poking, even if it's just a few millimeters. And I don't want to buy the 25mm spacers, put them on, not like the poke, and then lose money on return shipping and restocking fee. And the Eibachs and Garagelines are more expensive and the ones on Ebay say they will fit a '15 Mustang and yet have a center bore of 70.1, so I don't know if those are trustworthy.

Any idea if this 1" spacers would be compatible with 20 X 9 FOUNDRY wheels with 265/35 tires for the front and back, without any issues?
