i think you only need the spacers if you go deep dish in the front (18x10) which is semi understandable.......i have an '05gt with 18x9 all the way arround and a 265 tire and clearance is perfect with a small amount of space to spare

To clear things up from what your saying, I will be able to order 18x9 and 10 deep dish bullits that will fit an 05 without the spacer correct? I refuse to buy the wheels with the spacer so if the problem is fixed mustangtuning will have my money.

Yup. Thats 100% correct.

Its not so much as clearance issues (height and knocking in fenders) with the wheels on an 18x9, its incorrect offset that is creating the issue. These wheels had a +36mm offset, however the caliper hits the wheel with that offset, hence the wheels had to be retooled to have a +38mm offset, so that they clear the calipers without any touchy feely.
