I think I am in a pickle MII spindles + '06 Mustang wheels >_<

[ADaughen]

A while back I found a really good deal on a set of '06 Mustang V6 16" take-offs.

I was upgrading my front end from 4-lug to 5-lug and thought these would be perfect. I didn't research that they had switched from ~24mm to ~44mm offset.

That's good for the rear, actually, since I won't have to shave a 1/2" off each side of the 8.8 I am installing. Bad for the fronts, since I'm not sure how comfortable I feel about spacers AND I have to grind down the hub on my rotor ~2mm.

I used to have photos online but putfile disappeared (?).

Here's what I have. If someone knows of a similar make, I'm actually looking for some wider wheels out back. 225mm tire in the rear isn't going to be enough.

Anyone running Mustang II spindles?

What size spacers would you need to run to make it work out? Thick enough that you could run bolt-on spacers, or would they just be slipping over longer studs? Maximum Motorsports has some nice 1/2" spacers.

Give these guys a call, they beat the snot out of their stuff even dragracing,,,http://www.skulte.com/index.php/cPath/21.
These units bolt on, then you bolt to them. They even sell them to rock crawlers guys and those guys but huge bay large stuff on and then have several ton vehicles sit sideways on them whee lthem over rocks and stuff with big power.
and they can make them just about any thickness.

A little over 1/2 an inch based on the stack of washers I put between the wheel and rotor hat.
