Hello,
I just purchased my first mustang a couple weeks ago and have since added the mods in my signature. It is a 2018 PP1 car with 1300 miles. This evening, I added 25mm spacers on my PP1 wheels. It was my understanding that would create a flush stance; however, the rear certainly seems to poke out a bit in the rear. The front looks fine as expected. Yesterday, I added some steeda progressive springs at 1.125" drop in the front and 1" in the rear along with their aluminum bushings, sleeves and irs braces (similar to traction bars).Two questions:
  • On the 18-19 PP1 wheels, can one run 20mm spacers on the rear without trimming the studs?
  • If I were to leave the 25mm on the rear, do you believe I will experience rub? It looks that way to me.
I appreciate your input.

put 2.5 or so camber on the rear and the rub will not be a concern. CJ has cheap, hub-centric spacers. Buy a fistful.

I wouldn’t go more tha 2 deg of camber for the rear wheels (or grip starts to go down), but yes some camber should help you.

Yes, that is part of the issue as I had it aligned yesterday and I am only running -.5 on the rear. Regarding my second question, will the 20mm spacers fit on 18 PP1 wheels without trimming the studs? Thank you

measure how much is sticking out now and do the math. If your wheels have deep pockets (PP1 do I believe) then no trim needed.

That’s a good suggestion. I will do so, thanks again.
