Any recommendations for spacers

[Mustangman2016]

So I have a 2016 GT and I’ve been looking for spacers for a while but idk what to get. I’m not even sure what sizing I want. So if anyone has any recommendations that’d be great, thanks folks.

What are you trying to accomplish by having spacers?
And which wheels and tires do you have?

I honestly just want it to have a wider stance, also I have lexani R 19 255 in the back and 235 in the front. The wheels that came on the car when I bought it are 2014 gt500 wheels for some reason lol.

The only safe spacers are slip on and not the bolt on
Therefore without longer studs, you are limited to 5mm
That’s really not much
The real solution would be new wheels and tires

If you are going to spacers you will also have to add arp extended studs and open lug nuts. Bolt on spacers not safe.

Let's be realistic here...there is nothing unsafe about a good quality bolt-on spacer <1" on the street.

Now on the track or a heavily abused car, I wouldn't touch those with a 100 foot pole. But for putting around on the street there's nothing unsafe about them unless you get some crap Chinese brand with "tuner" lugs.

1” coyote accessories spacers. They are billet and cheap and awesome quality.

I had Eibach prospacers 25mm all around on my old ecoboost with no problems. Kind of pricy at like 150 a pair so if I had to do it again would probably just put that money towards new wheels with proper offset

I wanted a more masculine stance I did not want to make a huge investment in rims and wider rubber ..also did not want a lowered car that adds frustration with basic speed hump’s and other road hazards …I added 33mm rear 24mm front …bolt in then wheel bolts to spacer aircraft aluminium ….so no risk of it breaking
it brings the tyre out making the car fender look like it’s been lowered ….parked next to a stock 5.0 it looks like the dogs bollocks IMO

I am involved with aircraft testing, last week we tested rotor blade root mounts with 7 series aluminium, you really need not worry about turning off a well built spacer from a wheel hub with 500/700 /800/1000 RWHp, …Your rubber can’t adhere more than its material strength …add it go play….cheap cosmetic addition to add some masculinity to a mustang see my
ice in post above ….ok ok ok my own guys machined the spacers and provided the AN studs

just shoot yourself in the head now and be done with it.

If the Mustang gods are merciful they'll reincarnate you as something with an extra $800-1000 for 9.5 or 10" wide wheels and another bill roll for 275 tires.

CJ POny parts has spacers from 3 to 30mm. You need extended studs on any slip-on spacer > 7mm. For just tooling around town the bolt-on 1" will do fine. but ASK where the hell they sourced the wheel studs. You want proper ones from Dorman, not Chinese pot metal.

Don't do it.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze.

The yellow 2016 GT Premium is lowered using Eibach springs and factory 20" wheels and 20mm Steeda spacers. The 2022 blue GT/CS has factory 19" wheels and the same 20mm spacers but not lowered (yet). Though the difference in 20mm and 25mm spacers is less than 1/8" the 20mm spacers allow the tire to be "just' inside the fender with no rubbing issues stock or lowered. In person the blue car looks lowered because of the spacers though no where near the aggressive stance of the lowered yellow one. Handling is different story with the lowered car....
