Default Wheel Spacers...

Anyone have some pics of some mustangs with some wheel spacers andsome 17X8 or 17X9 wheels. Does it look good?... I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to getting some wider wheels all around...dont have the dough for the wheels AND the rubber.

No pics here but make sure that you spend the extra money and get the hub-centric spacers. The kind that just go take up space can snap your studs. Get the kind that look like this...

They won't snap your studs and basically act as another part of your rim.

I have them...check out my pics in my photo gallery...they look ok... better than having the rims tucked so far in the wheel well it looks like bicycle tires! It looks a little funny from the rear when driving behind it i think, I don't know what kind/brand they are, they were on the car when I bought it.

Hubcentric are pretty much the same as having a different offset. It won't hurt the car. I would say no to just the disc ones.

I have 1.5" hubcentric spacers if you want to buy themand try them out. They rubbedon my car when ihit bigdips in the road.My car is also lowered 1.5" so if yournot that low then these will work out fine. It actually makes the car look a lot better.Let me know
