My Stang got new shoes!!!! (Finally.)

Remember my Bullitt "coffee table"?

Well, here is how it looks, on the car.

315/35/17 on the rear and 255\40\17's on the front. Cheap-a$$ Sumitomo's. Woo-hoo!

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get some "artsy" pics, with some kind of killer background.

This is with Eibach Pro's. (Anybody know how to get the front down, about another 1/2"?)

Looking good. What did you have before these, I can't remember.

These. (With the 4x4 springs, even!)

 

[urban96]

lookin sharp


the steeda x2 balljoints are supposed to lower the front some more. also you can remove the isolators

lose the trailer hitch

Rob, have you considered tint to really bring the top aesthetic together (or do you like the contrast)?

One thought on your springs: I also run the PK (with HP's) and if I nail a decent dip in the road at over 50 mph, I can scrape the wheel liner. Plus I'd fear any speedbump with it lower. That said, losing isolators (not my thing to do, but folks have) or snipping a little off each front spring are other options.

Enjoy the new wheels/skins.

 

[reddy351]

Sorry. I have to have the hitch. (I kinda wish I didn't.)

I tried tinted windows. It was too dark for me, most of the time. I couldn't see as well as I wanted to. So, I took it off. I guess for pics, I'll get some black vinyl to put on the glass.

I was considering the balljoints. It's going to roll over 100k miles, soon. Might be time for some front-end preventative maintenance. I really don't want to lose the isolators, either.

Thanks for the kudo's.

 

[ProKiller]

very nice looking. love the coffee table

 

[Wi Stang]

Good choice on the wheels. I think it really brings the car together with the paint scheme.

 

[TwoToneHatch]

Looks good! It looks the SN-95 version of my Fox.

Yup! I've seen your avatar of here, before! I thought it was really funny! (Although, I'd say you have the Fox version of my SN. )

Problem is, we both have the exact same paint scheme as 70's era Chevy pickup trucks. (Maybe I shouldn't ever say that again.)

Anyhow, good choice in colors!

Thanks! I appreciate it!


Thank you for your concern for my table. My search for a 15"x14" Indy Car, Champ Car or IRL car wheel has turned up nothing. When/if I do find one, I'll use it for my "new" table. Anybody have any leads? Turns out that the teams no longer own the wheels they use. They are "leased" from the tire companies. Grrrr.

Your car looks great. The wheels make your paint scheme look 10X better! My game plan for a table is to try to buy a worn out rear tire from one of John Force's teams (Robert Height, Ashley, etc) when I go the NHRA race in St. Louis in a couple weeks. Ive been planning that for a while now. An autographed tire would really put the icing on the cake for me. Bad news is, they go fast, and usually go for $100-200...

 

[BlackVert]

looks great. i like the 2 tone thing you have going there too

 

[acdcjenjes]

Rims look awesome. I want those exact ones on my 95 gt. If you dont mind, how much did you pay for the wheels and tires combined? and where did you get them.
Only thing i would recommend is to paint the taillight bezels black or try to swap them out for black oem lights

 

[reddy351]

I got the wheels for just under $500, shipped, about a year ago. The tires were $99ea for the 315's and $78ea(!!!!) for the 255's. It was just about $500, shipped, for the tires. The Tire Rack has excellent customer service and fast shipping!

It's funny that you mention black bezel tail lights. I bought some at a swap meet, last year. I refinished them and painted them flat black. I think I will install them this weekend.

 

[NotQuik]

looks good

 

[themustangdude]

looks great. i like the paint combo. would love to see a pic from the rear showing the width of the rear tires.
