Default 25 mm spacers installed......help

Hey guys,

I just installed 25mm spacers on the rear of my sn95. It pushed it 1 inch further away from the hub, the problem i have now it that it rubs if i hit a pothole or drive on uneven pavement, or even transition from higher to lower pavement and vice-versa.

Granted the shocks and struts, are probably stock....anyway to determine if they are stock or aftermarket.....(serial numbers, codes, impression on the shock?)

Also I thought maybe i could cut away at the rear fenderliner, however i realized our car doesnt have them.....


any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not to sound like a wise guy,but lose the spacers or put on smaller tires.I see no alternative.

Well apparently you have never had spacers or seen them on our mustang. Bc they badly need them, I'll just do what was said earlier and look into smaller wheels.

well first off when the build is a budget build you dont have money to throw around, especially when the wheels and tires were in good condition when i bought the car, no reason to throw money away....
