Well, yesterday I sold my saleen rim/tire setup. I was planning on getting my meth kit with it, but the guy buying the setup asked what i was planning on doing as my new setup. I told him i wanted to go with pro stars bigs/skinnies. He told me about a guy that had a rear rim/tire setup for sale, that was a steal. man, he wasnt kidding. Here is what i bought this evening:

The rims are 15x9 (yes 9, they are custom made...the 8's are too small and sit inside the fender, so the guy got them custom made to 9") with a 5.5 backspace. The tires are 275/60/15 MT ET Street Radials. THIS RIM/TIRE SETUP HAS 30 MILES ON IT. Yep, 30 miles. The guy even threw in lugs/center caps with the buy. I got this all for $500. He had $1100 for this custom setup. Now I just gotta work on getting the skinnies up front:

(sorry, these were taken with my cell phone in my garage at 10:00 at night)

 

im sure they are nice but it's kinda hard to tell. cant wait to see them on the car in the light

 

+1 ^^

 

yeah, sorry for the crappy pictures. They really are mint. You wont see them on the car until the spring time. Right now my whole motor is ripped apart and i already took my car off of insurance for the winter.

 

are you going strip only from now on?

 

Those are gonna look awesome on the car.

 

Are those for racing?

 

eh, i wouldnt say its only for racing or strictly strip....i only put about 4-5k miles a year on this car....it only gets driven to car shows, occasional weekend cruises, and i want to start running her at the track.

 

Your killing me, thats what I want.

 

some better pics of them on the car:

 

You cant beat a set of Pro Stars !!!!! Excellent choice!!!!!

 

thanks! they really do give it an aggressive look

 

I was looking through the market over at svtperformance after I read this thread and saw this ad.

awesome! thanks for the link man!

 

alll you need now is some 3" studs...im only getting the studs so i wont get kicked off the track. Also looks like you have a 28" tire which should be perfect for your AODE and 4.10's...if you had 26" tire you would bounce the limiter at 108-109 at 6k rpms. Remember your cars braking is gonna suck when the skinnies go up front.

 

yeah, i may go with 3" studs. we will see. thats the reason i went with the 28" tall tire because of my current setup. yeah, ive heard braking will really suck. thanks for the heads up

 

Don't you love how modding is really a never ending process? I have dumped so much money into my car and I still need to do some suspension mods and build the rear end...Nice car man it has come a long ways...very tastefully modded.

 

Wow! I wouldn't mess with either one of your cars! But I really wouldn't pick on your stang now haha.

 

daaamnn

 

hahaha thanks guys! yeah, your telling me about cars being a money pit. I have a little over 35k into my car, plus the car was 8k and i havent even built the motor, rear, or done any paint work besides the hood.

 

where'd the 35k go?

 

pretty much everything besides a forged internals, forged rear, or any crazy body work lol
