You are correct. I forgot to put the .5 after the 9 for the width of the rear GT PP wheel. Thanks for the compliment and it is a GT and not an EB. Bought the wheels off of craigslist cheap because I wanted black wheels.
Hey bud, so sorry. My bad. I didn't even look at your description of what you drive or beyond the tires and wheels in your pic to see it is a GT. :doh: Great looking ride. I actually like the EB PP wheels better than the GT PP wheels! Nice :thumbsup:

stock 19x8.5 et42.5, 25mm spacers, 1'' lowered. 20mm is perfectly flush on stock alignment, but imo it's not worth trimming your studs. it's never rubbed on me even during autox events. the PP wheel offset is 3mm more aggressive than these. pretty much unnoticeable.

Damn, that looks good! Nice stance. I believe the rear wheels of the GT PP have more than a 3mm difference in offset at 52.5. The fronts are 3mm more at 45. Also the rear GT PP wheels are and inch wider than your wheels. All of that combined will make the wheel stick out of the fender instead of flush or tucked.

No problem. I actually sought out the EB PP wheels due to so many GT PP owners telling what a pain it is to clean their wheels. I have since upgraded to the 19x10 SVE S350 wheels in black in a square setup. They have a 40mm offset and fit perfectly without running the spacers. I haven't had a chance to take any good photos yet with the new shoes.

Spacers

I did just 8mm spacers on oem studs and base 18" wheels, as I am installing springs soon to drop down on the 255/40/18's I run.

Good choice as the GT PP wheels are a pain in the ass to clean and keep clean. I'm thinking about running a square set-up as well. Post up some pics when you get a chance. I'd love to see it on the beautiful Ruby Red 'stang! Rudy Red was my first color choice, but because of my "driving style", I decided to keep it more under the radar with silver.

When I had the Ceramic Pro done they had a special and coated the wheels for free. They definitely seem to stay cleaner after that but totally agree the cleaning is a PITA. When I swap these out for new wheels they will definitely be a lower spoke count, and much lighter (33lb behemoths!) :D

so what size spacer will fit on our cars .. like the slip on kind... 8mm 10mm with out cutting studs.. hubcentric of course.. 10 or a 15 would be perfect for the rear, as i went with a 285/40 rear tire.. looks like a 10mm would be just right

8mm went right on without any problems.. enough stud left to get a good bite

25mm/1" in the back on the PP/GT has poke. Even 20mm has a little poke. I'm running 20mm front and back and I'm planning to change to 15mm in the back because I can't stand any poke.

I'm lowered on BMR 089/082.

Interesting thread this. I too am on the quest for the “perfect” wheel spacing, and i can’t resist an opportunity to share some pretty pictures :)

I’m on the Eibach pro kit with 25mm front/23mm rear. Not done an alignment yet (shame on me). Anyway, in my opinion, there is a little poke at the back, and we’re talking literally a few mm here, more noticeable at some angles than others. It does bug me a little if i’m honest, so I may put the 23mm on the front and get some 20mm on the back, but undecided yet. I don’t really have an issue with the front, its just the back. This is all very subjective I suppose, but if you take the very edge of the wheel arch, look from above and line that up with one eye closed, you can see a few mm of tyre, maybe 3-5mm i would guess.

Anyway, hope this helps. Good thread!

Finally got my springs and 25mm spacers installed on all 4. Pictures soon to come after I clean her up a bit. The back two are definitely out a bit more. If this bothers you, would recommend maybe 20mm on the back and 25mm in the front. But I will tell you, it looks amazingly mean with the "poke" from the back. The way a true muscle car is meant to look. Thank you guys for the recommendations!

Not that it maters now, But with your CS wheels, you could have gone with 20mm spacers without cutting. Ask me how I know....:D

I have a BMR drop installed as well....:cheers:

I have 19x9.0 all way around, 255 size tire. I put 20mm spacers on it, the rear is almost flush, front is less. But I like them, I will put 265 tires on next, I carried these over from 19x8.5 stock wheels.

Looks nice and won’t worry about rock chips. Even though all 4 wheels and rubber and spacers are the same; my car now looks in person like it has staggered wheels: I like it
