Thanks for the compliment and also thanks for posting the pics for me. The wheels are 19 x 8 symbolic XR-15. They have a 6 inch backspace and the tires are 235/35ZR19 and no they dont rub at all. I do plan on going with 245/35ZR19 on my next tire change and they will fit with no problems. If the wheels were 19 x 9 with a 6 in backspacing then they might rub, but everything depends on backspacing and with this set up i still have more than a 1/2 inch clearance before they start to rub on the quad shock. The rear fender was already rolled from when i had the 17 x 8.5 chrome Elite Avalons on the car. Tork Imagines are a cheaper version of this wheel if you were thinking of getting some. Post some pics of your convertible stang. That red paint and wheel is a tease show us the whole deal.

I do ride people back there all the time with no problems and for your information the roll bar is curved with the interior so i still have full use of my back seat. Now if i tried to fit 2 adults over 200 lbs back there then i might have fitment problems, but still no rubbing problems.

I really don't like the stock gt or lx look taillight look. I wanted something different and more modern. I am going to change the tails, but not because i don't like the look. It's because the passenger tail builds condensation and i can't have that. I don't try to please everyone when i customize my ride, just myself and i know you thought you were slick putting in a pic of your LX hatch and this is supposed to be a convertible only thread.

All i have to say is nice clean ride. Those chrome wheels really set that color off. Is that the factory paint or a repaint? Is it wet sanded?

Here is some pics showing clearance.

If any of you verts have a aftermarket system in your vert please visit the sound thread (Convertibles only car audio).

I weighed mine the other day. It was 3300 with a half tank of gas. The car is bone stock as far as I can tell. Still has the AC, smog pump, charcoal cannister, etc.

Best time was 10.90 @128 full weight with a S-trim (w/ 8 rib belt) and E303 cam. The car is now lighter, has a YSi-trim (w/ cog setup), .600+ lift blower cam and Aderson PMS. I have not run the car yet nor made full dyno pulls but a quick blip on the dyno made 550 rwhp (mustang dyno) at 5,200 with 6lbs of boost and a 10.5:1 A/F.

what roll bar is that? and how tall are you? do you have much clearance around your head?

I wouldnt mind putting in a roll bar in mine, since the stiffest support is the windshield. But I am 6'6" and do not want to brain myself in an accident.


also, does it allow for rear seat use?

My brothers is the black GT
