Default Spacers

Does anyone have a pic of their ride with 1" spacers & 17 " torque thrusts on? Thanks

I'll help you out buddy. I don't have 1" but I got the 1.5" spacers from American Muscle w/ stock bullit wheels. Here's a couple pics:





I say go for it man. For $120, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a new set of tires, and I think it looks great.

not sure of your offset on your wheels but a 1 inch looks great with stock wheels

Can anyone recommend a high-quality set of 1" spacers for my 2010? Can't afford wheels & tires right now and hate the way the wheels sit in. Thanks.

Americanmuscle.com should have everything you need. For the 10-11' Mustangs, they have 25mm H&R Trak+ Hubcentric Wheel Spacers which is just what you need. H&R is one of the best. 25mm is just under 1". The set is $149.99, a nice alternative to fat tires in the back.
Here are the wheel spacers you need.

Question. I have stock 19" wheels. The listing for the H&R's on AM says: Note:

These Wheel Spacers are specifically made for aftermarket wheels and will NOT fit stock factory wheels.

What's the deal? Can I use these?

I'm not 100% sure. I have stock wheels and the 30mm fit perfect on mine w/ no problems. Just call the people at American Muscle, they'll know for sure.

Yes you can use these. The reason AM says they won't fit is the studs will be to long and hit against your rims causing them to not mount flush. You can either trim your studs or buy new ones. I have 3/4'' spacers on my car and trimmed the studs. They fit fine with some minor modifications.

Personally I don't like that look at all, if I did spacers I'd go with 1" spacers. It may look better if you were lowered.
