i need some spacers for my mustang up front because 1) you cant even fit your finger between the rim and the shock, and 2) it's beginning to rub on my brake lines and wear them away. so i was wondering if anyone made something as small as a 1/8 spacer, just to kick things out enough out of harms way. so do they make these. thanks guys:SNSign:

Iv'e got 1/4" all the way around. For clearance issues on front and to make it look even on the rear.

Make sure you upgrade your lubs and get HUBCENTRIC spacers....otherwise you run the risk of snapping a wheel off like some members on the boards have done before

I think four eye cars need spacers up front to fit aftermarket wheels, my friends 82 capri and my other buddies 85 GT both needed 1/4 inch spacers on the front for aftermarket wheels to fit. Use lock tight and torque them down to 8 trillion ft lbs so they dont come loose like my rear wheel did super bowl sunday this year hahah
