Why? Unless he's got 13" brakes with wheels that won't clear, I see no reason to add spacers. Why push your wheels out if you don't have to?

245/45/16's here on SSR GT1 rims. I used a 5mm spacer in the rear to clear the struts and then some major fender rolling and trimming to get them fit in the rear. Of course I'm also running on eibachs so undropped cars shouldhave as much problem with rubbing. They tires fit perfectly up front with no spacers.

I had some 245/50/16's(drag radials) on the front, on stock E1's  Only had them on a couple of days for when I went to the track. They'd rub on quick turns, and the abs light would come on over 45mph. But I wouldn't think he'd be running that large of a sidewall.  Mark

I actually was borrowing them from a friend of mine. He had them on his SHO. They're actually perfect fit for a Mustang.
