Wheel spacers
What are the best ones for our cars? Is there any difference between them? I need to take 1/4" spacers with me when I install my brake kit just in case.

I have the 5/8 inch spacers (
www.mustangwheelspacers.com ) behind all 4 of my wheels. They are great!

RE: Wheel spacers
now.. when it says 5/8 inch spacer.. does that mean that the tire will be pushed out 5/8 inches more? or is it only a fraction of that or is it more??

RE: Wheel spacers
The spacer is 5/8 inches thick, so, yes, the wheel is pushed outward by 5/8 inches.

RE: Wheel spacers
Spacers should be the last resort.
Longer wheel studs also need to be used
for proper wheel retention.
