    OK Members, I am testing out the usefullness of doing FAQs for the S197 Tech Section. I am going to start with one for wheels/tires. If it proves sucessfull I will move on to other areas.

    What I need from all of you with NON STOCK wheels is:

    Wheels:
    Brand
    Model
    Wheel Diameter
    Offset

    Did you need/use a spacer?

    Tires:
    Brand
    Model
    Size

    Suspension Mods if any

    A picture. Preferably small. Can also be a link if A) it is your car, and B) you have the right to link to that webspace.

    The only information I want in replies to this thread is the info above. No "Where'd you buy those", "Those look great", etc. Use PMs or e-mail for that.

    Celtic,
    Please use the format I outlined above. I am planning a database or table style lookup and don't want to have to ferret out information from each post.

    Thanks,
    gp001

    Sorry, didn't see that see that listed as a requirement...

    Offset: not sure

    Did you need/use a spacer? No, however the rears were taken to a wheel shop where they welded part of the inner hub to make it fit properly without hub-centric rings and then cut part of the hub off to get the offset/backspacing correct. Niche doesn't make the Black F18's in 20x10 for mustang yet.

    Model: NT555 Extreme
    Size: 245/35/20 in front and 275/35/20 in rear

    Suspension Mods: Roush Springs at all 4 corners with no issues. (not pictured)

    Sorry for the crappy pic, it's bad weather here.
