Hey guys and gals - just a few new shots of my ride. The rims are American Racing Torq Thrust II, 17X11 and 17X9.5 - these are especially made by AR for the SN95 Mustang. Unfortunately, I have Cobra brakes up front and I had to add Maximum Motorsport spacers (.5") to clear the calipers. So, they are pushed out to the very edge of the fender...but hey - who said it, Pontiac...'wider is better', right? :rolleyes: :rlaugh: :p :nonono:

So the 13'' rotors will not work with those wheels up front, unless you have spacers?
Nonetheless it looks awesome, with 11'' out back it doesn't rub?
Right, the brake calipers (on the 13" rotors) wants to clip the spokes of the wheel. I had to move the wheel outward to clear the caliper.
Thanks - and no rub whatsoever - not even close. I am not using my 'quad shocks' though - not sure if it would have been an issue, but I figured while I was in the wheel well, it was time to remove em. I do have aftermarket LCAs.
Strangely, with the 8" OEM wheels, there was about an inch of clearance from the exhaust pipe/tip. Now, with these huge rims,,,,I still have about an inch...go figure. (It's just proper backspacing / offset, but it's still pretty amazing)
 
315/35 out back and 275/40 up front - thanks guys
And as far as the paint looking wet - ya know, I had just washed it, but honestly it has not been waxed in more than a year...it is garage kept though - which I think makes a HUGE difference, especially here in the FL heat.
