I found a set of ebay spacer that looks like it will fix the problem.
eBay Store ? Brenspeed's Stang Recycler: Search results for mustang spacers.

Spacing a 1/2" should fix my rubbing problem.

Found a nice set of wheels, and tires that looks like a good deal.
eBay Store ? Brenspeed's Stang Recycler: Search results for wheels, and tires.

With these mods I can have a cloned copy, just like everybody else.
Not what I really want!

Question: I noticed that 31 spline axles come in different lengths.
29.188 in.
29.969 in.
30.688 in.
What size do I need?

03-V6-Coupe
Brimstone Yellow

I have already ordered a 8.8 31 spline posi mustang cobra unit, now I am going to need axles.

I am begining to feel like I am the only person around here old enough to remember the old CRAGAR WIRE WHEELS, and the red painted brake drums.
I know it's old-hat, but I Like it!

cragar still makes the soft 8s from 30 a piece but thats about all they make anymore Id run those over stock Lincoln rims. But 1/2in spacers are asking for trouble. If your getting an 8.8 your obviously into some form of performance and a hard turn with spacers is going to sheer your rims right off

04mustang232 · October 25th, 2008, 01:23 PM

i could see modifying your car or going well out of your way to make a set of rims work if they were badass, but for these, i wouldnt be modifying shit on my car, i would just turn them into boat anchors.

Prankster · October 25th, 2008, 04:07 PM

I like using ACDSee 10

Just a few setup options.
I think I need a much bigger tri-bar spinner.

Prankster · October 25th, 2008, 04:09 PM

Here is the one on the car now.

N29468 · October 25th, 2008, 04:33 PM

sweet seats!

ItaliStang · October 25th, 2008, 04:39 PM

if you like the old school style... why not get an old school car...

Prankster · October 25th, 2008, 09:07 PM

Give me a little time, and I might be picking up an 89 Convertible LX.

15" Aluminum spares from Lincolns work well as a cheap wheels for skinnies. The only thing needed is a 1/4" spacer.

So, what's the trick?
How do I fix the 1/2" needed backspace if I shift over to the 17" rims?

As for the wired out 17" Cragars, I feel that they could never handle the grip of a Pirelli, and the torx of a modern V6.

I also feel the same way about the Dayton spokes too!

What do you think?

GreenFaleen · October 25th, 2008, 10:41 PM

Ive seen them on old ss monte carlo's they would hold up. but wheel spacers are a bad idea

6ER THEN I 8ER! · October 26th, 2008, 01:11 AM

i would run ur old rims on ur stang in an instant over the wire ones...but it's ur car not mine so oh well...b4 u mod the shit out of ur car, y dont u have some1 photoshop those rims on ur car to give u an idea of the look...just an idea

04mustang232 · October 26th, 2008, 03:09 PM

Maybe you should get those center caps that have swords or spikes on them so if/when another mustang rolls up and laughs at your wheels, you can simply swerve into him and slice his tires with your center caps. Like on the little rascals.

mustangjeff1997 · October 26th, 2008, 03:33 PM

Umm...aren't those new edge stockers? Didn't they come on the V6's of 99-01 or so before they realized that five spokes look better?
