Anyone running 5mm spacers up front?

[Niz55]

I like to add 5mm spacers to the Shelby up front and wanted to know if the wheel will seat on the hub lip? I just don't want any vibration issues.

Also, how many turns did you guys get from the factory lugs?

I have 6.5mm spacers for my front and the hub still sticks past it a few mm so I don't lose the hub-centric function. 5mm should be good. Make sure to check your remaining thread length on the studs to ensure enough engagement if you do.

I think @bjstang has 5mm up front on his wife's car although not a shelby

Yes with 5mm spacer the wheel still centers / seats on the hub ring. No issues in like 20k street miles, hundreds of autox runs and some track days

Great thanks everyone. I currently have 3mm installed and I like to go little thicker.

Apologize for hijacking; which wheel spacers do you use?

I just bought a set of eibachs 5mm from summit for $47.

I just installed these from Amazon yesterday, they are perfect. Just came back from an HPDE event right now. No issues, they fit perfectly on the hub(hubcentric).

Mother* they won't ship to APO

Edit: But found another through Prime that will ship.

Sending the Eibach back to summit. Garbage quality.

Ouch, I guess I'm glad I couldn't get the Eibach
