    Got the Rear Lowered Pictures!!! (1)

    I also just did rear only. (Eibach) car was right on from factory and moved 1/2" to the passenger side upon lowering. BMR adj panhard took care of that. ...should be within 1/8' each side of the other.

    quick tire question about fr500's

    Stock 8" rim has 6.295" backspacing so anything less that 7.295" on 9" will stick out more than stock.

    Bigger/lower profile tires

    nycstang37 is correct. You can get specs on tires easily on mfg web sites. You'll find that the slightly more than 27" diameter of the stock 17 Pirellis will be dificult to meet or exceed in any appreciable amount. If your diameter is 26" you will get an additional 1/2" space between tire and...

    Fake rear Gas cap / badge removal

    wldchic: Been on two other forums; first day and reply on this one for me. Listen to this: I just finished the decklid fabrication for ornament removal and 'shaving lock' (going to top notch paint shop in the next week or so.) Ordered spoiler delete cause I knew from the beginning I would be...

    correct rim backspacing

    Looks like 200s will fit (will order and test soon) spdbrake: Thanks for the great info link. Yeah it looks like the 200S may very well fit. I would love to go 8 in front and 9.5 in rear as you mentioned but I had done lots of research on tire sizes in 17 to maintain close "revs per mile"...

    correct rim backspacing

    AR 17 probably won't fit First of all let me say that you ride looks terrific; no bling for me either. I'm really looking to stay with the 17's (have two new sets of Pirelli 17" now and larger sidewall means softer ride to me; I won't be road racing anyway... well maybe in a straight line...

    correct rim backspacing

    Can you check your TT with plumb line? Hey spdbrake, thanks for the link, that is good info. Since I am interested in a American Racing rim (the 200s grey center) 17x8 it would be super helpful if you could do a plumb line check of the measurement from the front wheelwell body edge to the...

    Can you comment on ride quality, in particular did you have a comparison ride "before and after" Tokico application?

    Lowering a GT

    With the ProKit do the rear coils first; the axle will go right (pass side) about 5/8". BMR has top quality adjustable panhard bar. Entire job on the rear is pretty easy and can be completed in under 2 hours (and that includes making fine adjustments and road testing.) I will say this after...

    Biggest Tire for 05-06 GT's?

    Perfect wheel offset Yup, perfect, that's precisely why I asked; nice selection. When you get tire sizes if you would pass them along that would be great. No GT yet, supposed to be at deaker by now... where's the truck? They have no idea... maybe today. Say didn't see Shaker in your...

    Biggest Tire for 05-06 GT's?

    Followup on your Torque Thrust setup... Forgot to ask: What size\mfg tires are you running on the AR TT rims? Also do you recall the wheel offset you went with (front & rear)? Gotta luv that "Black" stang. You have to get that daily driver so you can go nuts! Thnx, Jim

    Biggest Tire for 05-06 GT's?

    Yes indeed you are very retro! Hey Official_Style, yup, you have the retro look; you did select vintage looking rims (AR TorqueThrust) and in gray spoke no less. Very, very nice look; I'm looking into the AR 200s, gray spoke but the last time I checked there were only available in 15" and...

    Did i waste $830 on the wheel upgrade?

    Filling the wheel wells StangNut, thanks for making this important point. Personally I won't be doing any autocross or that type of driving (more straight line than anything else). I much prefer the additional sidewall. I'll be looking into a set of 17" (wider in the back; 9.5, unless the...

    Biggest Tire for 05-06 GT's?

    Widest 17" tires RedCoupe92: You'll see that going with alternative wheels in 17" is very rare... can't say I've seen it yet. However don't lose heart, you are looking down the right path. 60's 70's ran 14" and 15" so a step to 17" is a significant one already. The look of 18"-20+" is new...
