    1" or 1.25" would be good.

      1.25-1.5" if you are running stock brakes. 1" is fine if you are running 98-02"

        What is the difference in brakes that makes such a difference in spacers? I don't have 98-02 brakes at the moment, but will sometime in the near future. Would I be able to run 1" spacers/wheel adapters until I have time to do the brakes, or would I damage something?

            Overkill had them on his towncar and he had the centercaps on the front.

                The centercaps can be modified to work. I modded mine to fit with the 1" spacers

                  I'm putting Bullitts on my car... is the same true for them? I'm not sure I can see why you wouldn't be able to run centercaps... does the little cap (forgot what it's all called now) that protects the bearings and whatnot get in the way?

                    those are different style centercaps than the bullits or the hhp's
                    jim the bullit wheels will fit, you need a 1" spacer. using said spacer the caps should go on
                    i am using 1" spacers with lsc turbines and big brakes......i had to grind my calipers for the lsc wheels to fit.....they are really thick........17" mustang wheels 94-04 1" spacers, no problem.......05 to present stang wheels you need 1.5" spacers
