do you have any idea weather or not it will effect tire wear, will i need to make any other suspension mods? I am planning to get adjustable coilovers, but wanted to see if wheel spacers could give me the look i wanted first.

yes, this will effect tire wear because it will add 33mm to the offset of your wheel. in order to counter that effect you would need to get new wheels. somebody at a tire store would probably get you the right wheels you need. without the right offset your handling will also be affected.

5 Lug Mustangs use the same bolt pattern as the 5 lug FCs. Use a Mustang one. Everyone makes one for a mustang.

Are mustang hubs the same size as FC hubs? I woulvnt get spacers unless they are hubcentric...just for safety issues. I wouldnt want to put all the stress on the studs alone.

I am not sure about the hub, but the existing studs tighten down to hold it in a Lug centric position anyway.

if you need something special ATTAIN has a plethora of premade and custom made spacers. OR try H&R but those are worth more then the same weight in gold..
