question about this spacer

[15gtguy]

I'm thinking about these spacers and would like to know a few things. First has anyone used these and if so do you like them and can you post pics? Also what are our stud threads, 1/2" or 12mm 1.5? Im thinking about getting the 1.25" for the rear and 1" for the front. Will these even fit? Im running the 19" I have the stock 19" GT PP wheels.

S550s are M14x1.5.

That might make it harder to find bolt-on spacers.

I just ordered the 1/8" because I can re-use the OEM studs. If you go beyond 5mm (1/8" =3.175mm) you'll need aftermarket extended studs and/or extended lug nuts. So if you want the 1/2" = 12mm, you'll need the extended studs and/or lug nuts

Neither are hubcentric. 1/8" is too small to be hubcentric so I don't see a problem of them causing and vibrational issues at speed. I spoke to Watson Racing and Maximum Motorsports (a very well known and well respected Mustang suspension company) and they said there would be no issue running the 1/8" with the OEM gear.

In fact Maximum Motorsports was running a 1.0" non-hubcentric spacer on their race car. The driver himself sent me pics of it.

I, like you, want to keep the PP black rims, but have them be more flush to the fender. To be honest, I haven't found any wheels under $5,000.00 that I like better than them.

If you're looking for 1.0" or larger spacers, you'll need to have them custom made. Trust me, I researched for a week and couldn't find any spacers specific to the S550 except the Watson Racing spacers.

I think 1/8" spacers will be enough for me because I'll be lowered on the Steeda Sport Springs (1.0" lower all around). Plus I don't want to deal with custom spacers, custom studs or custom lug nuts.

You can solve some of that spacer problem in the rear with the factory look a like PP wheels that are 10" wide and then you wont need a spacer for the rears. I still plan on running the factory PP wheels in front with a spacer to push them out some tho.

That's a good option

Do you have a link to the PP 10" replicas?

Going to strongly consider them.

19x10 Rears fit the 2015.. someone else has ordered a 19x9 (I think) for the front and it clears the NON PP brakes.

That's good news. Thanks for the heads up. Now I'm really excited on running wider tires in the rear :cheers:
