[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 14690524, member: 7795"] I have a fully built rear, so my car has all the mods to make it as strong as possible for my intended drag use. For my final combo, I have 9" ends, 33-spline axles with 3" ARP studs, rear bump stop relocation, hubcentric 5/8" to push them out to the max/flush ([url]http://www.mustangwheelspacers.com/[/url]). I preferred that to the 1/2 and the 5/8" is the smallest he makes :) I did the bump stop relocation when the car was at the chassis shop and so I wouldn't have to worry with future slicks or wider DRs. I doubt the relocation would be needed with the narrower Nittos and the 5/8" spacer. Based on the goal to use the 315 NT05R which I strongly feel is the best street tire we can run, there are 2 minimal options: 1) mount them on the stock wheels and bolt them on as Blue Angel and others have shown works fine 2) widen the stock wheels to 10.5-11" and run a 1/4" spacer if needed With option 2, the bump stop should likely not be an issue with this combo but you have to check every car. Yes, 1/4" spacer is fine with the stock lugs, any further should have longer wheel studs. Either way, definitely run an adj. panhard bar to center the rear. -J [/QUOTE]
