Anyone recommend the best Spacers to fit on the rear of my 98 GT ? Eibach seem to be quite popular, it's totally stock at the moment as far as I can tell and the wheels are not filling the arches, also what size would be best ? I see a lot 30mm or 50mm sizes, thanks

good to know tony. I have thought about running spacers on my stockers to fill up the wheel wells more.

one of the first things i did was grab those asap, lol! the one real issue i have with 94-98's is the booty is wide and the rear tires almost disappear into the wheel wells...spacing them out made a huge difference. looks good with the stock wheels too..

I had a set on mine and don't trust them. They felt like they would come lose one nite at the track so after that I took them off just my 2¢

just a heads up but if you have stock split spokes like I did you cant run the bolt on spacers without having to cut down your stock lug studs. My 98 cobra wheels have little "pockets" in between the lug holes so I was able to use them with those wheels, but not with my split spokes. Btw I am running 1.25" hubcentric bolt on spacers with 17x8 wheels.

I am also running 1.25 Hubcentric(please for the love of god make sure they are hubcentric) with 295s and have had no problem. They have been auto-xed on and everything.. Well when I had 275s anyway... not with the new 295s..

Either way they hold up fine and really fill up the wheel well..

Ill be running the stock '94 pony five spoke wheels for the time being until I get something else. The rear spacers should make them "tolerable" for a while haha
