I am running 275 BFG KDW's on my 2002 GT. 17x9 bullitt replica wheels. When autocrossing the front tires hit the sway bar. Has anyone else had this problem? What size spacers 1/8" or 1/4" should I use?

Thanks,

Is it also hitting the back side of the control arm? Do you have 17x9's in all 4 corners??

A friend of mine ordered 4 17x9's from mustang tuning and they sent him all 17x9's. Didn't mention to him at all that they had different offsets. And when he'd go full lock before we figured out they had different offsets he'd rub the front sway bar along with the control arm.

1/8" may be OK...if you go 1/4" I doubt you'll hit anymore but you'll have to get longer wheels studs
