Hi Guys, I am looking to buy 23mm spacers for my Mustang with PP1 rims with Sportline Suspension.

I am completely lost and I don't know from where to start.

Thank you very much for your help.

The best.

There are 2 type of spacers.
1. Wheel centric. The one with the bolts on it.
2. Hub centric. Slide on spacers. Required longer wheels studs (1" longer)

Adding 5 bolts you add weak points so i would suggest HUB CENTRIC.

The best spacers on the market are the OPMUSTANG.COM

Those are what the race community use.
I run 28mm spacers

Hope this help

Don’t see why not.

I had steeda 20mm and very solid
They sell 25mm

don’t see why they couldn’t custom mill a 23mm set. Ask. Maybe charge few extra bucks for a set

You are asking like there are many to choose from while they're in fact are none I know of (doesn't mean they exist) - assumming you want exactly 23 mm.
Bolt on spacers are junk. Like suggested above, right way to go is replace studs with longer ones and use a slip on spacer - opmustang's ones are great (not cheap though).

Why 23mm and not 25mm which are much easier to get ?

I have Steeda 25mm spacers, no issues and I don’t track the car so the bolt-on seem to be fine for my use.

I would like to get 20 mm but the spacers are too small. What happens is that the original studs stick further than the spacer and then rather than sitting flush in the spacer it sits on the 5 OEM studs rather than sitting on the spacer itself. That's what I read in other posts.

I had aftermarket voxx gt replicas. The slots behind the wheels was absolutely massive. Oem won’t fit 20mm. But I really liked the Stance

didn’t have a single issue for 28k miles or so on steeda spacers, I got new wheels with proper offset and sold the wheels and spacers together off.

was extremely solid quality.

IMO 20mm is the way to go. It is a pity that OEM ones do not allow less than 23mm :/. That's what they say.
