Default Wheel spacers??

I am looking to space out the wheels of my 2000 GT vert. I have the optional, special edition, 17X8 wheels. Has anyone put spacers on and how much could I go front and back before I have to roll the fenders? I was considering 1/4 in the front and 1" in the back. Also, does anyone know how much it cost to roll the fenders on the stang?

Thanks in advance

I think this is what you are after? link

I don't think you will run into any problems with the fenders, unless your car is really slammed you should have plenty of room. But I really can't say for sure.

JamesSocal,
Thanks

I was planning a slight drop of about 1 inch. (Likely Ford "B" springs)
I think I am going to get the 1" spacers for the rear from the link you noted.
Also, an inch on the front may be too much, so I found some 1/4" spacers that I will use if I have enough thread on the stud.

Thanks again

Wheel spacers should be used on the rear. H&R makes them and Maximum Motorsports sells them at any thickness you want. You have to be careful if you
have coilovers and have your stang slammed the wheel spacers will rub the inner fender well. So you will have to roll the inner fenders. You should be fine it all
depends on the size of the tire as well. Good Luck,

Matt
