What's up everyone.
I'm the proud owner of a 15 GT PP and love every minute in my car.
I always get excuses to get in it and drive it, don't care if it is a 5 min drive or 10 hr drive!!!
I have a couple of things done and made the car so much more enjoyable. I bought it on Feb 2016 with 2800 miles on it and now I have about 22xxx miles lol. I did most of the steeda suspension upgrades plus the tri ax shifter, rtr grille, and most of diode dynamic set up, no issue with DD lights on my case, have been running them for 6-8 months, Corsa xtreme CB, Ford Performance Good Strut, 3M Roof wrap, painted the engine covers, emblems and black out headlights corners.
I started to read about the transmission fluids and I got more confused than before I started.
Couple of questions;
What are ya'll using on yours?
And since I spent so much on mods lately, I don't wanna get kick out by my wife, my goal is to get a better wheel set up, but for now I want to get the wheels farther out, what are your opinions on wheel spacers (the one from CJ Ponny) they're on sale now and I want to get that going just until I'm able to save for the wheels and tires (which should be by oct/nov)

If my English is not correct forgive me, English is not my first language.
Thanks everyone in advance.

Transmission..BG Syncro Shift.
Spacers..If you don't want to trim wheel studs, 25mm front and 23mm rear. Don't skimp on the spacers, buy quality, and make sure they are hub-centric.

Just installed these Cj pony part spacers today. Added a little anti seize too. It'll make it easier to remove the spacer in the future.

Arent wheel spacers bad for your hub bearing causing them to wear out quicker due to higher moment on the spacer?

Yeah, but it's not going to wear them out super quick. Besides, Motorcraft hubs can be had for $75 from online dealers and they're not hard to change so it's really not a big negative. Personally, I'm not a fan but not for that reason.

If hubcentric spacers (only kind you should get), no more than a wider offset wheel would.

I'm not a big fan either, but I just want to fill up the gap. I was going to buy a set on April when my tires were going bad but I did not know that my wife purchased the insurance on my wheels and tires, and I just moved to a brand new subdivision in Memphis area and they still building homes, I pick up 4 nails in my left rear and 3 in the right rear, so I have a brand new set of tires for free. I thought of selling them with the wheels but I do that have a second because of work.

So for example, if my stock wheels were +30mm offset and my new wheels are 45mm offset then I need to buy a 10mm wheel spacer to keep everything even?
