I got a set of 2001 GT wheels and want to run them on my 70 mustang but they are rubing on the lower ball joint and suggestions on what size spacer to run?

i run them on my 1970 coupe with a 1.25 wheels adaptor that bolts to the lugnuts. a spacer that big would be unsafe with just longer studs. i am running a 245/45 17 tire which fits well on the front but nex time i am going to go with a 275/40 on the back. let me know if you want me to snap some pics.

1.25" or 1".

I have a set of 4 aluminum bolt on 1" spacers that would work great for you. I used them to mount a set of 18" bullit replicas. They fit great, but I ended up pulling them out to change up my wheels combo.

If you are interested, send me a PM. I'll give you a great deal on them as I don't need them anymore any they only got used for 1 season. Whatever you do, make sure you get the bolt on style spacer for anything 1" or more. They are much safer.

when you get them..I highly recommend Fred Goeske at www.wheeladapter.com over the cheap ones on ebay. You really dont want to lose a wheel while driving. And his are hubcentric
