New to site, first post. Hello! I have a mustang s550.

I was wondering about wheel spacers. I hate the look of sunken wheels on the vehicle body!

I plan to buy put some wheel spacers on, 3/4inch or 1/2inch, not too thick, but still, has anybody used them on the factory wheel setup?
I worry about the safety. Cause I saw some terrible pics on the internet of the wheels jump out bcz of spacers.

So I search for some proof of WHEEL SPACERS SAFETY, and here's a article that I got from the internet.


If so what size or which brand do you recommend.
Thanks in advance.

I would purchase spacer for your job, (stating what you are going to use them for) you should then be safe.
I would avoid general purpose ones, these used in the wrong situation can result in the loads being too high for the wheel studs.

There's a lot of bad advice and scaremongering on the internet with regards to this issue but, in reality, wheels with properly installed spacers are just as safe as those that don't use spacers. One common complaint about wheel spacers is that they will cause bolts or studs to bend or break.

I would ask your insurer if they will increase rour premium with them fitted. My understanding is that they count as a modification.
