I have been using these on my mustang for about 3 years now and I also have a set for each car and truck in my fleet. The really help keeping the rim off the calipers and make sliding the spare tire into position when you are just too tired or at a bad angle on the side of the road

being super **** about stuff, I always worry a little that I am dragging the wheel across the threads of the studs when putting the wheels on and off, which could damage the threads or the hole in the wheel ... these look like they would relieve that worry

@1 old racer , Thanks for sharing this. I had not heard or even really thought about something like this before. I do know that the wide wheels with tires & TPMS are heavy, awkward, and kind of a pain to get off and line up to to slide back on. I have been trying to not raise my car any more than needed to keep the tire just off the floor to help me. It's not like the old days when I could muscle these things off and on. This will save me from doing damage to me and car parts that I have never even thought of...

Found a great video that explained to me why these are important and very helpful. Thanks for updating us on a great idea!

Below is the video. (Guess if it is good enough for a Corvette it is good enough for our Mustangs!)


Edit: Where do you buy yours? And sizing... I assume us S197 guys would need this size?
