New wheels/tires on!!

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:07 PM

Installed these today. American Racing Torq Thrust M(Thanks Juco) in 20x8.5 and 20x10. Nitto 555's with 245/35 and 285/30. I'm already wishing I would have got the Nitto DR's. What wider rear tire do you guys with 20's suggest?
Cell phone pics but what do you guys think?

ReverendDexter · July 27th, 2009, 11:11 PM

I think they look good. I'd stick with the width you have, but I prefer a stretched tire.

Damn what kind of cell phone do you have? Great quality!... oh, and car look great too!

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:14 PM

^^Haha, HTC Touch Pro

that looks awesome mike! i didnt know u was gone get them so soon. im surprised!

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:18 PM

Yea I didnt either, I was at work and had some free time so I called and ordered everything outta the blue

bigpappy33 · July 27th, 2009, 11:19 PM

looks good dude, and yea u shoulda got the DRs, a lil taller sidewall would fill the wheel wells nicely. More burnouts pronto! haha

Some window tint would set the black wheels off too.

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:21 PM

tinted windows, tail lights, 3rd brake, and side markers are coming soon. Thinking about painting in between the tail lights black too. Gotta figure out what to do with the calipers too.

You got something in my garage........other than a U shaped panhard bar

bigpappy33 · July 27th, 2009, 11:28 PM

sweet, id look at the magnet strips or the honeycomb panels before painting the trunk lid space.

Maybe yellow calipers? lol

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:31 PM

I thought about the magnetic panel, just wondering if you can see gaps around the faux gas cap. Magnetic panel would let me know if I really want it painted or not I guess

yea worthwhile investment, you can always sell it! haha

stanglifemike · July 27th, 2009, 11:36 PM

very true!!
I have thought about the yellow calipers too, also had some friends mention it. Just can't decide if that will look good or not. Wish I could photoshop...

bigpappy33 · July 27th, 2009, 11:41 PM

a few pics to get an idea, first one is a black car second one is an sn95.
It would be unique for sure. Black is always the safe bet though.

NastyFX4 · July 28th, 2009, 12:10 AM

Def. get some Nitto NT555R 305s ... !! Juco should still have the set that was on his car for a little bit ...

stanglifemike · July 28th, 2009, 12:11 AM

Cool man, thanks. Most yellow caliper paint is really pale. I would like to find one that was close to the same color, then maybe do the Mustang emblem in black on it. Like whats on my 98 but different colors obviously.

I have the magnetic panel, I love it and the circle for the faux cap is almost too snug, no gaps there! Though the gaps you have to worry about are on the L and R edges of the panel, doesn't quite cover the entire space, and with a bright colored car, it would show, I have Vista Blue so doesn't stand out. Hope this helps.

Hmmm....he didnt mention them over the phone the other day

NastyFX4 · July 28th, 2009, 12:13 AM

Maybe he sold them, I don't have the slightest clue. They were too big for his car with the Sportlines.

that would look good, g2 has specific mustang colors, but i didnt see screaming yellow listed as one, you can always have them custom make one for you... (for 99 bucks

)

G2 - Request a Color Matched Brake Caliper or Engine Paint Kit Based on Vehicle Color Code.
