don't know, but that's a slick looking mach.....I would rather it have the hood strip and side stipes, but it looks bad azz anyway. Once again, I'm adding nothing to the conversation! ha ha ha

Those rims look great on your car!!!! It will look even better with the stripes.....I'm really liking just about every color mach except for black and DSG....ha ha ha....and mine is DSG....I just need to do silver stripes and it will be fine.

How many miles on your mach?

You might want to get out of the handicap parking spot! ha ha ha....big fine for that! ha ha ha

why are you parked in a handicap spot?
in a HUGE hurry to take a pic. I was very excited here and very dirty. My garage is right in front of that spot so when I back up I have to limp and talk slow. J/K

Thats my picture spot...I live right behind it LOL

18X9 all the way around. +35 offset which is where my trouble began.

I typically see staggered fitment on stangs but wanted that 3.5" lip all the way around versus a small lip up front and a big lip out back. In that search I found this wheel and trusted the salesman they would work.

WELL .....they would work on a GT but with the damn cobra brakes I hit the caliper on the front wheel so I had to find spacers and play that game. The back was no issue but I did put spacers there.

So thats issue #1 completed and fixed. Including a little sanding/shaving of the stock caliper that will be fixed and contoured when painted.

Issue #2 was I ordered 265/35/18's for the rear since they were a cheap tire. I wanted 295 out back. SOOOO .....I get the wheels and they are 245/40/18 front 245/35/18 out back.

For the price I paid for these I cant complain I suppose but I would have liked them to just bolt up easily. OH WELL. I love em and i did get that lip all around.

Whoa. That rear tire size is scaring me. That is way too small.
