I want to get the 18x9 deep dish bullitts from mustangtuning but I am concerned about something. If I get the 18x9's all the way around, and have to use 1/4" spacers on the front, wouldn't that make the fronts stick out 1/4" more than the rears? I know that 1/4" is not that significant, but I want them to all be the same. I hope they fix that problem soon.

Also, I've talked to several people about spacers and they seem to think that any spacer is a bad idea. They say that it moves the weight farther out and changes the geometry of the suspension. This change puts more stress on the suspension which eventually wears out the components quicker. Does anyone else agree with this, or should I just chalk this up as someone's opinion.

 

1/4" is a very small number to be concerned about. As far a looks, I doubt that the human eye would see any difference between the fronts and the rears. IMO

It's nothing to worry about...I think the people you asked the wheel spacer question to might be refering to thicker spacer's i.e. 1/2"-1". The thin spacers wiegh almost nothing 4-5 oz's each...You can go with 7/32's spacers as well.

 

i used 7/32's as well...no problems

 

Cool, thanks guys. There's no substitute for advice from people who actually have the parts on their cars. :worship:
