Hill Climbing S550 Mustang with 12-inch Wheel Spacers!

YouTube has done it again! Unseen Builds decided to take its already extreme S550 Mustang , powered by a fully built 1,200-hp twin-turbo Coyote , to an even higher level by adding 24-inch wheels and 12 (yes, 12)-inch wheel spacers. Thats five 2-inch wheel spacers and a 2-inch adapter plate per corner. Dubbed The MUDstang, Unseen Builds is going to test how well it climbs a muddy hill, because why not? We love a good freak show like this S550 built for the strip turned mud crawler. The owner says in one video (there appears to be at least three in an ongoing series) that the twin-67mm turbocharged Coyote has a manual valve body Turbo 400 with a trans brake and 3,500-stall converter behind it, and hes made between 200 and 300 drag passes with it at pretty quick times. The idea to try the spacers came from comments on another of Unseen Builds YouTube videos for Project Sh*t Box, a late-model previous-gen Ford Ranger that got the 24/12 wheel and spacer combo before the Mustang. Commenters stated the spacers would break at speed or under too much power or that the pickup wouldnt handle at all. Then Unseen Builds said, hold my beer. We cant tell you how well the Ranger performed (were probably going to check out the log-wheels currently on the Ranger after this), but we can tell you that the 12-inch spacers held up surprisingly well. To be clear, HOT ROD absolutely in no way condones what Unseen Builds is doing with this Mustang. Wheel spacers can be dangerous on any car if used or set up improperly. Be smart, safety third. But to be fairthe day ended because of a break to the driver-side half-shaft, not a spacer. Seeing an S550 on 24s with 33-inch all-terrains and 12-inch wheel spacers climb a hill provides some much needed levity in times like these. Check out their YouTube channel, because it looks like Unseen Builds has a lot more automotive freak shows in the works. --> The post Hill Climbing S550 Mustang with 12-inch Wheel Spacers! appeared first on Hot Rod Network .
