Fore and Aft Wheel Location
The fore-aft location of your Mustang's front tires may change after installation of an MM K-member and Front Control Arms. How much it changes depends on the specific combination of parts you install. Scroll down to see images showing the results of several combinations of parts installed on SN95 Mustangs.
Required Modifications
1979-1993 Mustang
Any combination of K-member and front control arms that moves the front tire location forward will often require some modifications. How much modification depends on the tire size, wheel offset, and how far forward the tire goes. In general, likely modifications include trimming the plastic fender extensions, remounting the plastic inner fender liner, and adding a spreader bar to the fender under the extension.
1994-1995 Mustang
All combinations of MM K-members and MM Front Control Arms move the front tire location forward. Some may require slight modifications; how much depends on the tire size, wheel offset, and how far forward the tire goes. In general, 0.75" rarely requires any modifications unless an uncommonly large tire/wheel package is installed. 1.5" of movement may require modifications to the plastic inner fender liner, and trimming the end of the bumper fascia inside the wheel well.
For more information about these modifications, email the MM Tech Department from the Contact Us page. Be sure to include the part numbers of the K-member and front control arms you will use, as well as the year, model, and sub-model of your car.
The images above show the results of several combinations installed on a 1994-2004 Mustang.
Left image: No change in tire location, using either:
- Stock K-member and stock front control arms
- Stock K-member and MM Non-Offset Front Control Arms
Middle image: Tire moved forward 0.75", using either:
- MM K-member and MM Non-Offset Front Control Arms. The MM K-member adds 0.75" of forward offset.
- Stock K-member and MM Forward-Offset Front Control Arms. The MM Forward-Offset Front Control Arms add 0.75" of forward offset.
Right image: Tire moved forward 1.5", using:
- MM K-member and MM Forward-Offset Front Control Arms. The MM K-member adds 0.75" of forward offset and the MM Forward-Offset Front Control Arms add another 0.75" of forward offset, totaling 1.5" forward offset.
