Wheel spacers are on

[eec78]

I am usually one of the "just get a wheel with the correct offset" crowd, but I actually really like the stock wheels, they just need a little more aggressive look IMO. I didn't find much in the forum regarding this so I wanted to share the pics from my results. I went with a 20mm spacer from BONOSS you can find here - subtle change but I love the results.

Looks good. Are those factory tires too? Just had to replace mine on my GT PE but went with same spec 20" as I had. I had to make a quick decision after a nail damaged one but part of me regrets that as I would have liked to see what else is out there. Spacers might be a good alternative.

Thank you - yes they are the stock tires as well

Looks more aggressive than stock. I hope that your spacers are hub-centric. The studs are not supposed to support the weight of the vehicle. ??

Yes they are

Looks good!

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the plastic gadget aero-covers on my wheels. I just don't see them holding up well.

What plastic aero-covers are you referring to?

What wheels are those? They do not look stock/OEM.

They are the stock wheels for the GTPE with Nite Pony Pkg

Thanks, could not tell from the pics and forgot about the Night Pony package.

Looks good as I thought about doing the same.

Looks great. Are there any downsides to the spacers? More chance of stones getting kicked up and hitting side panels or the vehicle behind?

Do you notice any difference in handling from the wider stance?

Thanks for the quick info. I am very interested in these still so glad you included a link in your first post. Since I didn't go for a new size tire, I may go back and add these. I will warn you though about your tires since I had the same Perillis. As I indicated above, I hit a screw at 18,000 miles and it was too close to the sidewall to recommend patching However, all four tires were nearly warn so it made no sense to only replace one tire. They maybe had a couple thousand miles to go but with a performance oriented AWD car, I didn't want to mix/match so soon just to have that problem going forward.

In a way I am not surprised they only lasted ~20K, as I have a BMW M4 with summer performance tires and they also wear out fast. But... since my wife mostly drives the Mach E, I went with Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ which are still performance oriented but claim to have a longer tread life. So far, I haven't felt any negatives in handling with this new set.

Looks better, but seems like unless you have mudflaps it would be kicking up a lot more road grime onto the side now.

Only road grime here is dust so not overly concerned about it

Any updated comments or concerns about your wheel spacers?

Instead of going with aftermarket wheels, I ended up purchasing the GTPE rims and had them powder coated gloss black. I love the look of the wheels, but I don't like how they sit too far under the fender. This seems like a great solution! Also, I just installed RB flaps so I'm not worried about road grime.
