Rear Wheels on front

[debaron]

Evening chaps - been a while since my last post owing to my new restoration project - 66 Mustang Fastback GT

Is anyone running rear wheels on the front?

Are spacers required?

If you're referring to the standard Imolas then these will fit the front, with I suggest 225/45 tyres (if power steering). Recommend 5mm spacers which will give just enough clearance with this tyre size and be ok for standard studs, any thicker than 5mm and you'll need to fit longer studs.

Good man! Great info just what I was after.

I have 16" wheels all round on my Griff and they don't need spacers. The only thing you may need is rackstops to prevent the inside of the rim touching the lower suspension arms on full lock but even that depends on how centrally your steering rack is mounted. After my rack was taken out to be refurbished it no longer needed the rackstops.
