new shoes for the mustang.

NotQuik · Jan 21, 2009

Well, basically when I bought this car I told my wife two things about wheels if I ever got them. One is they would NOT be larger than 18" and two is NO chrome. Well, I broke down and bought these from a member on corral and I feel I made a good decision about how they would look on the car. The rims are Concept Neeper Moxy's 20x8.5 with 255-35's up front and 20x10 with 275-35's out back. Just thought I would go ahead and share some quick pictures I took today after work (received the wheels last night).

Here's one of my wifes fusion I just lowered with eibach prokit and new rims for x-mas and her b-day.

Nice !!

St Francisco · Jan 21, 2009

Very nice, although I don't particularly care for how far the back tires stick out though.

Thanks for posting the pics, though...I recently removed my racing stripes, and now have an all-white GT as well, and I wanted a picture to see how that blackout on the trunk would look.

Very nice!

Looking good Not my style, but admit the chrome looks great with the white.

Further proof that almost everything has a price...

First off, I disagree with this. I think they fit just fine.

I think they look bad-ass! Way to step out of the box from the typical wheel set-up usually found on Mustangs. They look sporty, classy, and original. I think you did great.

It would be awesome if you can paint the spokes white and leave the lip chrome; I'm a fan of painted wheels.

NotQuik · Jan 22, 2009

Thanks for the coments....I appreciate them all.

If anything i'll look into powder coating them back in the distant future.

They bearly stick past which i'm fine with but it was nothing the fr500's I stick on there from my 95.

That's fine...just voicing my opinion is all.

The picture of the left rear looks good on the top picture, but the front shot looks like it sticks out quite a bit... you have a panhard bar? Better watch out for rock chips on the rear.

NotQuik · Jan 22, 2009

I see what you guys are saying and the different angles can be a bit disceiving, so I got a couple pics on a flat surface after I got home today of each side to give a better idea. 'The right side bearly hangs past the fender while the left is inside the top edge of the fender bearly. I have a BMR ADJ. panhard bar in the garage i'll be installing probably this weekend or next to center up the rear a bit. Also, I appreciate all critisism whether it be good or bad...so don't think this is getting me all bent out of shape. lol

Also made a quick stop for a few pics in a better setting.

Forget the wheels, cheers on on that ET with a basically stock ride!

St Francisco · Jan 22, 2009

Man, now you got me all confused...in post #8, the last pic, those wheels look like that are hanging waaay out...but in your news pics from a different perspective, they seem to fit under there quite nicely.

::sigh:: I suppose I'd just have to see it in person...the only reason I got involved in this thread is because I'm debating on 9 or 9.5 on the back for some 18s I plan on getting after a while.

NastyStang113 · Jan 22, 2009

Sure looks like they fit good to me.

I think those were the fr500s off the 95 he was talking about. Not the new ones.

LOL...sorry about that man, them are the fr500's off my 95. If you look at the front rim you can tell they don't fill the wheel well's at all (only 17's)...I just posted it to show you they don't stick out anything like the fr500's did as a comparison.

I think you can go with 10" wide out back. I'm running 20x10, also; my tires fit in the rear wheel wells exactly as the OP's do. It's all about the offset. I can't remember if mine were 35mm or 38mm offset, but the difference is 3mm which shouldn't affect it too much.

I have plenty of room left over to the inside. With the right offset, I think you could fit an 11" wide wheel with no modifications.

Thank you...I don't get to make it to the track very often, but hopefully I can beat that time tonight!

mike has 11" wide rims on the back of his StangNet GT500, without modifications.

13" wheels can fit with barely anything done.
