Author Topic: wheel spacers 4 front BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              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 ....( My 99 cobra wheels are not flush with the fender,just doesnt look right!) -2.degrees camber 5. degrees caster 0 toe [ June 21, 2002, 05:05 PM: Message edited by: Black94 5.0 ] -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : TRY2PAZ ¯ Member # 97 posted                                 I would like to know also, anyone? -------------------- http://www.fnsweet.com/pics/events/sj_gtg_1020/sj_gtg1020_30.jpg Posts: 4033 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2000  |  : rr_mustang ¯ Member # 888 posted                              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.

These H&R spacers look heavy duty, but are for 1+ inches! http://www.maximummotorsports.com/spacers.html Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : 1Sicgt CAFords OG Member # 714 posted                              Steeda lists a set in there catalog.
