Why are you adding spacers? Are you upgrading your wheel width?

Because the wheels are sunken in at the moment. I've seen a bunch of pictures with S550's with the 25mm spacers and they sit flush but also seen others where the rears poke out just a bit. I'd rather my rears be flush with the quarter panel. Just trying to get other people's experience with these spacers.

if stock tire and PP wheel, you probably will have the slightest amount of poke with a 25mm spacer on the rear. these pictures are my car, freshly lowered with Eibach Pro Springs and 25mm spacer up front and 23mm spacer in the rear. i think the 23mm was the max i could go without poke, in fact from some angles it still looked poked.... ** i have since opted for aftermarket wheels.

Thank you! I'll be happy if my car sits like yours!

I'm running 25mm spaces all the way around on the stock PP wheels with Steeda Linear Sport Springs and the stance to me is perfect. There is a slight, and I mean slight amount of poke on the rear but it doesn't bother me.

I got my spacers from http://www.motorsport-tech.com/ Call and you can talk to the owner Len. He has 2 kits specific to the S550 one is 25/25mm and the other is 25/23mm.

I was running a square setup of the Ecoboost PP wheels with 25mm spacers which are the same size as the front GT PP wheel (19x9, +45 offset) on Steeda progressive springs.. I think the 19x9.5 , +52 offset rear wheel would fit with the 25mm spacer. The 23mm spacer would buy you a little insurance but I think either will work and look good.

Added a few pics. 25mm all the way around.

I like the way all of the cars in the photos sit with the 25 MM spacers. I never used spacers and read some not so good things about them. Are there any negative effects from using them? I love my stock black 19" wheels but they are set too far inwards.. Using a 25 or even 20 MM spacer would give me the look I need. I'd rather not buy new wheels- it's so complicated reading all the offsets available, etc. to get that "perfect" look- which to me is flush all the way around.

No issues with mine so far. Had them on for 8k now. Just make sure they are torqued correctly when installing them and you should be good to go.

Did the car handle any differently with those spacers installed? More stable with the wider track? Any concerns of harming bearings?

I'm curious about this too.

I don't want to go 25mm squared but I do want to go 23mm front and 20mm back. I'm riding on the stock PP1's and PS4S.

I haven't had have any issues with vibration or anything like that. Increase in handling was noticeable, but I also installed these with many other suspension mods (springs, sway bars, cc plates, bushings, g-trac k-brace, proper alignment, etc) at the same time so hard to say what just the spacers alone would do. These are hub-centric spacers and don't put any stress on the studs themselves.

Just read up on some of the coyote spacer threads. Many people on this forum are running them with no issues.

I did not notice and handling difference with the spacers. Because I had read horror stories about spacers, I was constantly worried about developing vibrations or putting a load on the studs and bearings but I had no issues. I only had the wheel spacers on for 2-ish months while waiting for my aftermarket rims. I have the stock PP wheels and spacers stored in the garage now, probably should sell the spacer kit.
