American Muscle

Wow, thanks for the compliments guys. See....hearing you guys and how much you like then on the car, makes me happy I went with those. That is what I really wanted, and plus they had the right offset.

BK--- We live far far away from one another, you can still do everything you planned on doing....:D I have been driving my black notch the last three days in a row to work and back. It is fun, but this yellow on was even more fun, and I can't wait to see what people are gonna do at the cruise spot.

I will get some rubber mounted on these wheels this weekend. I have some 245 Goodyears for up front, and I have 275 Goodyear F1's for the rear, or 275 Nittos. Not sure what I will mount. The Nitto's were for my Cobra, but those still have some life left, and as little as I drive it, they should do me 2 more summers.

I will take pics for you when I get them together. The S197 wheels for the back are 17X9 with a +45mm offset. I have the 2001 axle, so I need to get that wheel inward because it is 1-1/2" longer than the fox. Do you have the 99-04 axle, or the 94-98? If you have a 94-98 that one is 3/4" longer than a fox. The S197 wheels will still work and look good, but you might have to run a 17X8 with that offset if you have a 94-98 axle because mine is close to the Ebrake cables, ABS sensor wires, and the front inner fender well.

I know man, the black one might have to have a For Sale sign taped to the insdie of the windows....:(

:notnice:

definetly throw the nittos on the back, ive got a set of the 275 dr's on mine and it looks perfect (hooks good too)


Well, the 245's are gonna be for the front. 275's will be out back and I drove the car again today, and it needs the Nittos. It just lights the 245 Goodyears up that I have on it for now. I didn't put the chrome on yet, because it is still getting pulled in and out of my shop and it has some mud in front of the door and misc crap laying around. That engine in that notch is way more stout than if it were in a 99-04 body.
 
american muscle rocks for stuff.i always get my stuff from them next day when they ship ups.

MY bad, I didn't see your post above mine, you must have just snuck that in before I posted.


Yeah, I know, believe me, I wish it was Friday and Saturday for:

1. Mount 4 tires on new chrome wheels.
2. Buy new front rotors and pads.
3. Turn rear rotors and buy new pads.
4. Get alignment and windows tinted.
5. FINALLY wash, dry and detail it at my own house!!!!! and not at the dirt shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks bro!! I'm happy with the wheels. BUT the clutch I ordered is wrong. I called the dealer, got the production date from the car, they told me it was a T45, so I ordered a 10.5" 86- MID 01 GT clutch kit. The shop called me today and said I have an 11".....damn....I bet the guy who had the car before me upgraded to an 11" when he replaced the trans sometime ago. He didn't put a TR3650 in it either, it's a T45. I think I'm stuck with this clutch, because the box said, Performance Parts have NO WARRENTY.

If they won't take it back, I'll Ebay it. I have 209.99 in it. They ordered an 11" clutch kit and said they;ll have it by 10am tomorrow. I sure hope so. It felt GOOD driving the car over their this morning. I want it for the weekend.
