Anyone know what thickness wheel spacer will bring a 245/45/17 (17x8 rim) flush with the front fender lip on an sn95? (.25", 5/16" or .5"?) It's a 5x 4.5" lug pattern correct?

I know most people with new edge mustangs with get 1" spacers to bring them to the fender.

Yeah but the new edges have the fender flares...[&:]

Why don't you just hold a ruler beside your tire now,, & see how much distance there is tothe fenderlip?

Because I just lowered it and it needs to be aligned and I know it's off quite a bit meaning the tire is tilted in a bit. I can't get it aligned until next week and i'd like to be able to put the spacers on, drive it down to be aligned and be all done with it. Yes I could wait until it's aligned..but i'd rather not.

It's not going to make any big difference on the rear wheels if you get it aligned first. All you are going to do is bring the wheels out flush to the feder after they are in the correct position. Unless you have some rear camber issues, or adjustable rear suspension, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Oh sorry, it's for the front.

Personally I wouldn't recommend putting wheel spacers on the FRONT tires. It's going to affect your tires offset & wear out your wheel bearings faster, and possibly make the way the car steers feel weird. Wheel spacers work OK on the rear because it's a solid axle back there.
