Baby got some new shoes-Pics

mustang fanatic · August 24th, 2008, 03:54 AM

So, Friday I went and got Nitto 285/40-18's for the back and 255/45-18s for the front. I have had the black fr500s in my garage for a couple of weeks now. As for the looks, I couldn't be happier. The car looks a million times better.

Also the tires made a huge difference on the road. A lot smoother ride and the grip is awesome. I don't have to worry as much when cornering hard or flooring it. My car is definitely faster since I am not burning out the whole time. I recommend these tires to anyone! Well here are some pictures. Enjoy.

P.S. Burn out video is coming with old rims/tires on the rear. I am trying to find someone with a camera.

I really like the look of FR500s, but for some reason I've never been a big fan of them on S197s.. Not sure if it's the style that doesn't go with the car to me, or if it's because they're 18s and this body style seems to benefit from larger diameter wheels. Better than stock! Just my opinion of course.

Nice.

Never saw your rear window decals. Very good addition IMO. Would like to do something like that myself once I do more.

New shoes look great!

RaySDF250 · August 24th, 2008, 04:36 AM

Looks real good. The black wheels look good with all the other black trim on your car.

Thanks, let me know when you are ready. I make all my own decals. We can set something up.

You make your own decals as in you have the right equipment to do it?

05roush0090 · August 24th, 2008, 05:19 AM

are you 18x10 in the rear?

Mickey · August 24th, 2008, 06:30 AM

Very nice James. Make sure you keep that puppy clean if you're gonna be advertising on your ride.

tribaltek · August 24th, 2008, 09:06 AM

Looks great man!

My only suggestions are to at least paint your calipers now... and maybe get some drilled/slotted rotors soon.

Lookin' good!
