Greetings everyone!
I came across a set of 17x8 rims from an '07 Mustang for a great price. I'll be doing Mustang Steve's '05+ disc brakes on the front (12.5" rotors), so I couldn't pass the rims up.
I decided to do a test fit on my factory drums, since the spacing of the above conversion is (supposed to be) the same. I'm using 1.5" hub-centric adapters. The rims bolt up, but I notice I've got ~maybe~ 1/8" clearance between the top edge of the rim and the top of the spindle (where the upper control arm meets).
Should I be concerned with these tight tolerances?
Picture of the rims I'm using.
