2017 Mustang V6. Stock ride height. Niche Misano M117 18 x 8 40mm offset wheels. Tires 255/45 R18 (20mm wider than the factory 235/50). MISANO | Niche Road Wheels
I would like to install GT Base Model front calipers and rotors as a braking upgrade.
Called Niche and they said that that with my wheels there would be 2mm hub interference, and that the 18 x 9.5 wheels in same style would work. New wheels maybe in the future, but for right now I feel like a relatively thin spacer could work.
Niche would not give me info about spacers as they do not recommend the use of them.
It seems like it would be an advantage to go with thinnest possible spacer - perhaps even thin enough I don't have to use longer wheel studs? I'm ok going to a 20/25mm adapter that allows use of current wheel studs (w/o cutting) if that is the better path. Just seems like that is adding a lot of spacing for a 2mm interference (not measured - that is according to Niche Wheels). I feel like that their answer should be accurate since they checked their wheel fitment against a Base Mustang GT
which is essentially what I will have brake caliper wise once I've swapped the GT calipers onto the V6
Does anyone have experience with similar and could suggest a path forward on spacers/adapters?
