Default Wheel Spacers...The Sequel
After selling my 18's, I needed to fix the F up that Ford insisted on doing to the 99-04 Mustangs. The pathetic wheel gap. I had 1.25" spacers before, then sold them, now I am back with some 1" spacers I picked up used off of Mod Dept.

dunno...315's on some 10.5s out back would do a better job. But of course at a much greater cost.

315's are the way to go.

Yes, 315's for some would look 10x better, but for me...the spacers are just fine.
I just figured I'd post some pics for those that are looking to close up the funny looking gap for around $50. Not to mention, increased handling due to a widened track.

Looks great! That's probably going to be my next mod after springs. That looks a lot better and it's a much better idea than the one I had. I was considering beating in my rear fenders with a hammer to get rid of the gap. lol...

What kinda wheels do you think I have? OEM Bullitts.
I even had spacers back when I had my OEM Pony rims.

Well the ones on ebay didn't say they would work with the OEM wheels. They had a great price though. What kind will definately work with my wheels?

The ones on eBay lol....you might have to grind about an 1/8" off the ends of your studs. There are no threads out there. Can't hurt anything.

That was my point, the ones you posted up looked like they only work with the aftermarket rims, because the aftermarket rims have that empty space where the bolts would now extend... and OEM rims are filled in there. But If I only have to shave off a bit, it seems feesible.
