The Fez sits alot better at the rear and is much more stable. I have 10mm spaces and Adj springs at the rear, and there are no clearence issues, it just brings the rear track in line with the front, and stops a lot of the issues you tend to have with a narrow track rear. Thats why Ford fits them as an OEM item on thier track cars in the first place (Yes, they are a genuine Ford part).
There is a difference between the axle spacers you have and hub adaptors/wheel spacers.

Hub adaptors generally take the load bearing duties of the hub and transfer it to the wheel studs. Studs aren't designed to take the cars weight.
