Wheel Spacer suggestions!
Hey guys I am running the stock 19" track package wheels on my 2013 mustang and they are painted gloss black. I am also on BMR springs. Which is a 1.25 and 1.75 drop in the back i believe. I want my rear wheels to stick out further than the fronts so i have a more staggered aggressive stance. Which wheel spacers can I get that will fit my car?

Just go with 1" and call it a day. Won't have to worry about studs or anything (they bolt on to your stock hubs and then your wheels bolt to them). I've ran 1" on my SN95 for two years with no issues. Get them from maximum motorsports so you know you're getting good quality. I also put on a .25" spacer on the fronts to push them out just a little. Anything more than 1/4" and you need longer studs.

I wouldn't go with wheel spacers. Some will debate me but I say they bring an unwanted level of wear to the axle itself.
Personally I decided to pony up and upgrade to RTRs which have IMO the most aggressive + 'street-friendly' setup out there. They look amazing and are legit. YMMV...

Wheel spacers put no more or less stress on the axles than different offset to the wheels. If you feel the offset doesn't matter than spacers don't matter. RTRs stick out farther than my wheels with a 9/16 spacer and are an inch narrower.
The problem is wheels should be located by the hub referred to hub-centric and to do that you either have to use a spacer measuring 1/8" or less or 9/16" or more and the thicker one has to have the hub extension machined onto it or it is junk. I do not believe locating your wheels by the studs is a good idea too many have balance issues or you have to go through this complicated process to mount the wheels. Longer stronger wheels studs go without saying if you go for the 9/16" or longer spacer.
