Spacers! Anyone?

[w4fang22]

Anyone know of any companies that are planning on releasing some spacers sometime soon? I'm not talking universal spacers... need ones that are specifically designed for our vehicle.

Spoke to eibach, they say they're a couple of months out...

I am currently running a set of 20mm hubcentric spacers on the front of my car designed for S197 Mustangs. The only difference is that they have 1/2" by 20 thread studs.

So I bought some open end 14mm by 1.5mm thread open end nuts to attach them to the car, then used some of the many older style lug nuts I had from my '07 GT500 laying about to attach the wheels.

4k miles so far, including a trip to Deal's Gap and many other mountain roads in NC for a week of serious flogging. No issues at all. Just have to remember to torque them to only 100 ft/lbs for the thinner studs.

Spent less than $50 on the spacers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381064348994?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

And then less than $10 on open nuts: http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-X-OPEN-E...f5b0e0&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=10&sd=201157869929

How thick?

Here's 5mm spacers. These are hub centric and will fit perfectly.

I was thinking more along the lines of 20mm - 25mm...just enough to push the PP wheels flush to the fender.

I did just find some Released by Garageline, maybe i'll try those out...

You will need ARP extended studs if you go 20-25mm

No extended studs needed for the adapter bolt ontype spacers. You will only need them for the slip ons

Awesome, can't wait to see it!

I don't ever trust the bolts attached to the spacer types. Seen too many snap in half, or shear the bolts out of the aluminum.

Thanks for this! Glad you posted as I just bought a set for my new wheels.

I have 1" spacers on order from Titan wheel accessories.

I bought the set of 4 for about 100$. After installing the sport lines I think I'll probably only put them on the rears since the front looks pretty good as is.

We are currently in the final design stages of our spacers. Test fit some 25mm this weekend but are little too much for the rear so going to make a set of 20mm for tests. Follow us on face book and our website.
