Hey,
Thought I'd drop in and try this forum out! I'll post a few pics of my car, and check in again later today.

Very Yellow!!! Looks good, but you're really making those stock tires scream for mercy trying to stretch them over those 9" wheels.

 

[dacrush]

Its funny, no-one has mentioned that before you- so I checked the stock wheel size, and yep, like a dumbass, I ordered the wrong size wheels. I guess I get to shell out for some OE Magnums...
Thanks for pointing that out, though!

 

[Gearbanger 101]

I'm not saying they won't still work…they obviously stretch on, but with wheels that wide those tires won't provide much, if any protection from curb rash in the unfortunate event you get a little too up-close and personal with one. Or pothole protection either for that matter.

Welcome to StangNet...

Very nice ride

 

[dacrush]

Ahh, so, grasshoppa. I hope the tires wear evenly! Anyhow, thaks for the welcome, all!

I like the rims so get your money out of them tires first. Actually you can get some wider ones for the back and save the old ones for later down the road.

Very nice car! Agreed with the above, keep the rims, they look good with the yellow color. Just buy some bigger rubber... They are cheaper than rims anyways...well except stockers

Welcome to StangNet and feel free to ask and answer as you are reading.

Nice ride you got there. Keep the rims, get wider rubber, like the others said.

 

[bluecar]

Nice valve covers. Ford Blue, right?

Congrats on the ride and welcome to:SNSign:
Is it just me or is that Grabber Orange and NOT yellow...
I like the wheels and yes, get wider tires once those wear out
This pic makes it look like a die cast car...

Nice! That's a nice drift setup on those wheels/tires! Stretched out rubber is good for progressive slip angles but not for more then a couple of good runs though

Also man does the lighting play a number with your car's color!

 

[dacrush]

Aha- yes, those are the Ford Racing valve covers- I love the old-school small block ford look they lend to the engine compartment.
Yeah, it isn't yellow- it is grabber orange, but I tend not to correct people, because it seems like some people genuinely see it as yellow- and that's alright by me. I know its orange!
Thanks for all the kind comments and welcomes- I think I'll do as suggested and go with new wide tires, but I still want a set of OE mach 1 wheels to put on the car at some point. Just to keep the car all Ford.

Wow I LUV that color!! I had a zinc yellow 2000 Mustang GT once.. I loved the color of that car but yours is a much prettier yellow.

Yeah really, looks orange in some pics yellow in others. Welcome to the boards!
