Very nice wheels, tires look sharp too, but the center caps are very odd. Pony Centers would really look nice.

bigcat · Feb 5, 2006

where did you buy them, and what was the total for wheels/tires/mounting/shipping/etc.?

trey929rr · Feb 5, 2006

i like em!

DarkFireGT · Feb 5, 2006

Very nice. But I agree on the center caps. I like the tires. Same ones we're running.

'02MysticBlue · Feb 5, 2006

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I have a question about your rear spoiler? Does it cover the holes from the factory spoiler or did you get the spoiler delete option?

Thanks

OsirisGT · Feb 5, 2006

I got the rims from Mustang Tuning for $679.99 free shipping and no tax because they are based in Pensylvania and i'm in California. They are Topline brand wheels, and any Discount Tire can order them so hopefully you know someone who works there ;o) I only ordered them from MT because it would have been 6 weeks from Discount, I just couldn't wait. Discount (a friend) gave me $400 for the stock rims/tires with about 5200 miles on them and I payed $800 to Discount for tires and extra warranty and balancing and mounting etc...

I believe the center caps are Saleen but I just don't really like the look of em. I was kinda thinking of the Ford Racing ones but the wife said running pony. I wasn't totally sold on either of those so she chose.

The spoiler is from Cervini's. They make an Elenor clone body kit. I did have the stock spoiler and it covers the holes up. There are actually places to put screws in using the stock holes to help hold it on. Its a really nice set up.

S-Type... Not authentic Saleen.

These are authentic, cheap too. $10

They do offer the Pony Caps though mustangtuning.com

that is one monster size ducktail!! much bigger than my SSE one. guess it has to be if u dont get spoiler delete. car looks nice with the rims!

BlackGT05 · Feb 6, 2006

Anyone know the weight difference between those wheels and the stock wheels? Just wondering how much hp/tq you might loose with the 10" inchers. If they are close in weight it might not make a difference. Also are the wheels the same diameter as far as check engine light problems?

I8URVTEC · Feb 6, 2006

What are the sizes of the tires? 295 on the rear?

OsirisGT · Feb 6, 2006

Well Mustang Tuning says the fronts are 25lbs and the rears are 26lbs. I don't know how much the stock set ups were i'm sorry. Right now I think the rears are 1/5 of an inch smaller than the stock set up. The little tool on the Discount Tire site says when I am running 65 mph on the speedo I am actually going like 64.74 or something. Either way when I get around to it I can fix that with my Xcal2. I have just been lazy atm heh.

I'm running 245,45 and 285,40 atm.

BlackGT05 · Feb 7, 2006

Just curious, did they fix the spacer problem yet or did your wheels come with the spacers?

SamMan · Feb 7, 2006

Drop that beyotch!

OsirisGT · Feb 7, 2006

The front require 1/4 inch spacers for caliper clearence sadly. I can feel just a hair of wobble in the wheel above 60 mph and that is with them rebalancing twice.

bigcat · Feb 7, 2006

did you take the clips off the lug studs? this solves the problem for many people with aftermarket wheels. the factory wheels have a provision for them, but most aftermarkets dont. this causes the wheel to not sit flush with the hub.

LeftOvers · Feb 7, 2006

im an idiot

hey maybe you guys can help me with rim/tire sizes...ive been looking to upgrade my 17 inchers to 18s but i havent the slightest clue on what offset i would need...whats the widest tire i can fit all around? i would like to be able to rotate then still and what not, so they would have to be the same size. I was hoping for 265 all around...any help you can provide would be awwwwesome

OsirisGT · Feb 7, 2006

Yes they took the clips off. I watched them do it.

Try 18x9's with I believe a +45 offset Leftovers. Or just head to a tire shop, I use Discount because a friend works there, they can get you all the info you need I bet ;o)

LeftOvers · Feb 7, 2006

alright thanks osiris

FR-S8N · Jun 29, 2011
