what do you guys think of wheel spacers for the FRONT???...I Know it will change the suspension geometry, and I know I may need to get longer wheel studs, but I can't afford to get new wheels with the correct backspacing [Mad] ....( My 99 cobra wheels are not flush with the fender,just doesnt look right!)

-2.degrees camber
5. degrees caster

I am not too familiar with them, but there is a guy who is a guru at Mustangs - Elliot Franklin at the Mustang Corral (not Ranch) # 271-2895. You might want to give him a call, I am sure he will be able to help you out.
If you are in the neighborhood (Alameda and Stockton in San Jose, next door to Gromm Racing). He can probably take a look at the car first hand and advise.

Good Luck.

i put 7/16" wheel spacers with my saleen rims and it pushed them right to the fender well. no longer studs needed. [Big Grin] looks nice.

oh yeah i almost forgot only saleen lug nuts would catch enough threads because of thier desigh. stock lug nuts would barely catch one thread. sorry.

u needed spacers for saleen rims?! i think the saleens look clean the way they are!

they were just a little too tucked in for me. the car looks wider with wheels pushed out and i like that. thats just me though.

How much are you looking to space your wheels out? These H&R spacers look heavy duty, but are for 1+ inches!
