NICE... I've been wanting the exact same wheels and front bumper since I got my car, and yours is the first car I've ever seen with both... it looks even better than I imagined.
What offset are those wheels? What did you have to do to mount them?
The offset is 24mm out front and 22mm out back (either that or visa versa), and to mount them I did the SN 95 brake upgrade, fox axles and they went right on. They do rub, but look killer!
Well unfortunately, I missed this thread. I've got to hand it to you, the look of your car is fantastic! It's definitely original in the execution department. Nice! I hope you'll be at Fun Ford, 'cause I want to drool all over it!
Wholy crap, that's nice! Wanna trade? I can't believe how good it looks (actually I can!) The deep dish on the back rims really makes it look awesome. The colors work together really well too. I'm really diggin' it and can't wait to see it!
Edit: I really like the two tone in the engine compartment too. Not many people would do that! The fact that the engine isn't blinged out really appeals to me too. Less polishing and dusting! Also, when something begins to look ugly, you can take it off, glass bead it and repaint. Nice!
So are you running airbags or anything in the rear to keep the wheels from hitting the wheel wells so hard? What's your suspension like back there? If i tried to put those on my car, the first time i dropped the hammer i'd probably destroy the back rims.
The underhood is just painted, I like clean but not really flashy. I plan to pinstripe that and the door jambs, but both are far from done.
The rear has no air bags, just a stock suspension with LCAs and Saleen Springs. The wheels and tires dont appear to rub anything at all. The only rubbing I ever HEARD was under a real hard corner with 2 people and maybe 200 lbs in the trunk. I have even gone into parking lots and driveways on angles and had no issues. The front wheels rub, the backs don't.
It is a long way until finished, and the motor and driveline will change very soon, and videos should be up in the next couple of days.
lol jk lookin good as always, the wheels are def not too big, no matter what you do your always going to run into people with different tastes. Cant wait to see it in person. Once again awesome choice on paint.
Thanks guys, and I am sure most women wont like it, it is afterall brown and black... Most women dont know the difference between discs and drums, and 14s vs 18s...
I know a few people who don't like the wheels, but I love them, and thats all I care about!
Awesome! I love the DD bullits on the rear. It makes it stand out. Love the two tone too, that is one sexy foxbody. Is that the Cobra intake w/o the badge, or what?
