Finally got my new wheels installed!

ShipYourCarRich · Apr 9, 2011

Finally got my new wheels and tires on! Setup, 18" x 9.5" +38 Rota Grids all around. 275-40-18 Nitto NT1's in the front, 305-35-18 Nitto 555R drag radials in the rear.

So far the grip is nice, the rears will hold 1st gear pretty well once they're warmed up and there's enough grip up front to feel pretty good around corners.

looks cool

Nice. They look somewhat "tuner-y"...as in, imports. I like the substantial sidewall...not a fan of rubber bands.

The car needs to be lowered, I think.

Nice work.

Yeah, it's tuner-y I came from always owning imports and I wanted something different for the Stang. Seems like everyone has the same replica factory wheels on their mustangs.

I'm definitely going to lower it, just need to save and get all the rear end parts first. I want to get the UCA, LCA's, and Watt's link first. When I drop it I want to make sure the rear end stays centered, it's already a little off center with the factory parts.

OMFG we agree...

Really nice wheels dude, way to not under-do the sidewall and kill those neat looking rims with rubber band tires. That car needs teh chinspoiler!

Oh, and this is coming from a guy who really doesn't like the black wheel look...but your ride pulls it off nicely.

Thanks! Kinda funny, I've been thinking about grabbing the GT500 front lip lately. Know any good sites to pick one of those up?

It looks nice and a little different, nothing wrong with that.

As others have pointed out, it does need to be lowered. But one step at a time, I suppose.

darien87 · Apr 12, 2011

The rims aren't my style, but cool tires. Kudos on the upgrade.

All it takes is money right, then I could do everything at once

Not my thing but if you like it that is all that matters.

payupsucka · Apr 17, 2011

Ateup · Apr 17, 2011

As was pointed out, it's screaming for a chin spoiler. (as is every single Mustang on the road without one.)

Ha ha, sounds like a plan. Just paid my taxes though, "paid" being the key word, probably not getting anything for a little while

astronut1885 · Apr 19, 2011

I hear that dude... FWIW I got my chin spoiler for $100 new in an open box sale on the 'Bay.

Finally got my new wheels installed!
