Hey guys, i have a 1997 mustang gt and i just got a set of 2009 GT500 wheels. They are 18x9.5. I have 255/45r18 on the front and 285/40r18 on the rear. I am currently sitting on stock suspension right now so i am not worried about rubbing on the fenders so no need for pulling them. The front wheels rub on the shock body so i need wheel spacers for the front, and i didn't even have time to try and fit the rears on the car but i know i will need spacers as well. I was thinking of purchasing the 1inch billet aluminum wheel spacers that have the new studs in them so i don't have to go out and purchase long wheel studs. Will this wheel/tire combo sit flush with the fenders with these spacers? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

anyone? I am definetly going to run the 1" spacers in the rear but not 100% sure about the fronts. They do rub on the shock and i cannot turn the wheel all the way to the right.
