OK...I really need to get a lowering kit now. There is a lot more space between the tires and the wells now, even though they are 18" rims. The tires are great handling but a little bit too low profile for my taste after installing them on my stang, but once I get my lowering kit install, I think it will smooth it out. I love them and I think they look great. All total, with shipping, mounting computer balancing and chrome locks, optional pony or cobra center caps (both sets)...I spent about 1,300 bucks.
It was a wet rainy day so I hope they come out good the rain makes the car look dirty. By the way, I bet my 13.3 quarter mile time should improve a lil bit with these 10" rears~ a little bit more rubber will be on the track!!!


Let me know what you think!!! My new ZEX Nitrous kit has arrived as well!!!!

Could you tell me what tire size you're running in the front and back? I really hope that's not what a 285/40 is going to look like on the rear. It doesn't look bad, I just prefer a bit more sidewall.

Best of luck with the Nitrous...that'll really help you out at the track

Sure these are: 245/40/ZR18 FRONT AND 265/35/ZR18 REAR
Your 285/40 should be a bit higher. I am not really satisfied with the height of the rear myself at first, but it is starting to grow on me now a lil. Its all stock suspension right now. I think it will fill out better once dropped. Well, at least I hope

Yeah I am looking forward to installing the ZEX kit this weekend hopefully if I get the time.

Hey Blackonblack, did you need to use any spacers? Also, do you know the exact backspacing of your wheels? Thanks

sorry for delayed response. Just got back from Mardi Gras New Orleans!!! No spacer was necessary and I dont know about the backspcing of the wheels. I was just guaranteed they would work. 10's in rear...9's in front

Sidewall looks way too lowThey're 18's??? really? Looks like the offset is for a 94-04 Mustang. Are the tires unidirectional? The right rear one looks like it's pointing the wrong way. You may want to check it out.
