Greetings from the Heidelberg area. I will have my winter wheels on my 2011 mustang (tires on stock rims) next week. The 2003 cobra will stay in the garage most days.

The offset including spacers is 24 millimeters (Rim is 8x18 offset 44mm), and i think to the caliper is 5-7 millimeter space.
If you take smaller spacers i think you need other studs, because the hole in the wheel is to short for smaller spacers.

Another option is to use SN95 (pre 05) wheels which have about 15mm more offset combined with a 5mm spacer without studs should clear the Brembos

Thanks, I was wondering if I could have smaller spacers (5mm) that do NOT have any studs so I could use the original studs on the car. If 20mm is giving you 5-7mm space then the answer is no. Thanks for your help.

Several people I know from Wild Ponies of Hanau Mustang club bought their car from the USA and had it converted and paid the taxes once they brought it back to Germany. Saved a lot of money that way. When I converted the '97 I had it cost me DM2500 (in those days). They changed very little on the car and gave me a gutashein (forgive my poor German) for almost everything. I didn't have to pay the import tax because I was a transfer from the American system to GMBH
