In my area there are a few places around- mainly Cool Cars and Pro Tint. That's there main business is rims/tire's and of course-window tint lol. I'm not sure how regional they are,but I'd guess there's a wheel shop everywhere. I've had them re drill wheels and do things similar you are talking about having done , with the tire's still on,though if needed,they could take them off lol. Might be worth looking around for your version of cool cars before you decide

Do eeet

Mustang5L5 · Nov 29, 2017

I agree. See if there's an actual wheel shop in the area that can do it as well. They usually have the equipment to mount/dismount the tire as part of the service.

Solid advice guys. The machinist I went to said it would be two weeks before he could get me in, so I have time.

95BlueStallion · Nov 29, 2017

No such luck. We have one wheel repair facility in town, and they outsource machining to their Minneapolis, MN location. Says there isnt enough demand in Cedar Rapids, IA to pay for a lathe, lol. I'll probably just stick with what I found and bute the bullet. I wont be able to buy custom wheels for a couple years or more, so I may as well make myself happy with what I have. What's $250 anyway?

Mustang5L5 · Nov 29, 2017

Kinda strange that the fronts stick out that much more. Are the wheels the same offset? Are you pretty flush with the fender in the rear?

95BlueStallion · Nov 29, 2017

The rear is perfectly flush with the fender. Even after I take off what I am going to, I think the front will still stick out a touch. I may try selling the tires while they are off and buying a slightly smaller size to help it suck in.

Front and rear wheels are different offsets. For giggles I tried putting the rears on the front, and they stuck out about 2+ inches, lol. My 2011 had the same track front and rear, and ran the same 20x10's all around. I loved it.

95BlueStallion · Nov 29, 2017

This is the best pic I have to show it. Its not horrible, just enough to bother me.

And now that the car is lowered, its more noticeable being the fenders are down closer to the tires. This was stock ride height.

95BlueStallion · Nov 29, 2017

Hopefully with the machining and a bit of negative camber (seriously just a bit, its not a drift car) they will tuck like the rears.

I acquired some used MAC mufflers. The gentleman I bought them from threw in some unused dumps as well. I have read where MACs sound similar to Flows, but with less drone. Kinda hard to get a good idea from youtube, but for the price I paid I decided to give them a whirl even though they are not my top choice. I did find a couple vids where they sounded good tho.

I will not be running the dumps, so if any one of you guys wants them you know where to find me. I know they are popular with the masses here!

This Saturday I will reweld my H pipe ends on and fit the mufflers to the car.

I also had that same issue with my 90 GT. If you go through your checklist and seem to fix most of it, and kinda of anal like I am, and want it close to perfect. This plate that goes between the IAC and intake sure helped me.

Dude, this was $19.95 (+ shipping since its under $50) last week and I just put off buying it. Now its "sale price" of $46.91 this week. Im an IDIOT!

RaggedGT · Nov 30, 2017

Add a $4 dollar key chain and you will get free shipping

Mustang5L5 · Nov 30, 2017

I gotta say, there were some deals to be had this past week

Yeah, but it'll be $50 instead of $29. Pisses me off cause that $21 should have gone to taking my tires off my wheels. Im annoyed with myself.

Glad you pulled the trigger on yours. $21 is a bit different than $600, lol.

95BlueStallion · Nov 30, 2017

Good news! Its free shipping on orders over $35, so I just sucked it up and bought it for $46.91. Only $17 difference, whew. Keep it under a wasted $20 bill and I can live with myself. Since it was on sale, but not as good of a sale as last week, the 6% discount couldnt be applied. Damn red tape anyway.

Mustang5L5 · Nov 30, 2017

You know as soon as you click "submit order" you remember a $5 part you forgot to add.
