Wheel spacers

[kekoa achong]

Need some advice on wheel spacers. I have a 2015 mustang with a px1 procharger street only car. It never sees the track it is a pavement princess that has a good amount of power. Want to change the wheels out but get the ones that I want would have to run a wheel spacer on the front to get the look I'm trying to achieve. What are the thoughts on spacers?

Thanks for the help

I used to be very anti wheel spacers, however, after spending literally weeks over the past 11 years slamming as many as 4 spacers a pop at different road course cars, I've changed my point of view. Just use decent studs, available from "OP Tim".

ARP studs and slide-on spacers are fine - a bunch of track folks here use 25mm/1" spacers on the front to allow the use of 18x11 ET52 wheels all around.

Bolt-on spacers are evil.

So change the front studs and then use a slip on instead of a bolt on?

any suggestions on a good place to get the studs and spacers from?

Yes, avoid the bolt ons at all costs. There's just too many parts there, and points of failure. Yes, back in the day I used them on an autocross car and got away with it, and for a street car they might be OK, but the racers just stack them on the high quality studs.

OP Mustang, Tim is an advertiser on here, and only stocks decent parts.
