17 inch Mustang rims..

72blunbly,

Thank-you for your response. You seem to be a very good source of information on this board. I have followed your responses in other threads.

I would rather not be doing this but you cannot argue with free ... we are on a very tight budget here and unfortunately, way behind in our schedule but have great hopes to be finishing this project soon.

If that's the size of your rims, and you're running the stock width rear and springs, you'll need about a 1" spacer in the back to clear everything.

Stock springs, 8 3/4 rear end. oddly enough, sbp. My adapters are 1 1/4 wide so this is a good thing.

You'll also probably need a small spacer (1/4" to 3/8") in the front to clear the tie rod end. Some people seem to be able to use the 5.72" backspace on 17's without the spacer, but others need a small spacer to make it clear.

Is there a special spacer for this or can you use washers ?

Also, you'll have to open up the center register of the rims, turn down the outer edge of the brake hub, or use a spacer with a smaller outer register to use the Mustang rims.

I don't understand the comment of the central register... would you my expanding on that please. The second would be to grind down the edges of the front brake calipers and third, I don't understand either.

These rims have a mustang centerpiece or centercap...is there anything mopar i can substitute with ?

Thanks
Ian.
