[cLeAnRaCiNgLdR]

These are Ruff Racing 280's with a 2.5 inch lip in the front and a 5 inch rear lip

20x8.5 front---245/35/20
20x10 rear---275/30/20

Yeah my Camera sucks...



















I know...I know. I already ordered the Eibach Pro-kit, it should be here friday.

What do you think?

how do they fit to the wheel well lips? do they stick out any?

when you lower, you will need an adjustable panhard bar, dont forget. with such wide wheels, you will definitely see the rear shift.

IMO, I would have gone 1 size wider on the rear tires. Other than that it looks sweet!!!!! And will more so when you drop it... Looking forward to those pics as well.

Your biggest enemy is not your camera, but your lighting. Try and take the pics with the sun behind(not over) you and use the forced flash(not auto, but flashes whether it needs to or not) on your camera if you can do that. You will get much better pics that way.

Better get some rear mud flaps before you start losing paint on the lower quarters.

Adjustable Panhard Bar? Where can I find one of those? what does it do? I know I needed C/C Plates when I lowered my 2003 GT...Will that be needed for the 05?

Oh Kooldawg, thanks for the photo advice... I will be putting 295's in the rear next round too. I noticed that the 275's dont quite match the width of the wheel.

you can get an adjustable panhard bar from many different manufacturers.
here is one source (actually, the one i have): http://www.stangnet.com/Store/Mustang-Control-Arms_10/SN-2375X_24.html

you will need camber adjusting bolts. again, many different manufacturers make them. they are 14mm bolts. i used a company called Ingalls, part # 35420 and bought them from summit racing. there are also more expensive options to adjust camber, but these have worked well for many of us.
