Well, for one thing, I've never heard much good about running spacers, something about bearing load, although on a rear end, I don't really get that...?

Just remember that you'll need longer studs ;)

Oh...if you find where they're available, would you please let me know, since I too am going to a Stang 8.8 rear :D

I was just gonna get the axles in 5 lug, and go with a different offset wheel...but that's on down the road...

i know the focus has the same bolt pattern and there are several around on ebay , i just didnt know if they would hold up to a little more power then a focus

you need a hub ecentric "adapter" not a spacer. Unless your using hardened studs and rims that are designed to not be hubecentric.

Basically it should look like this

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
