Default Too much?

Just got these. Vault 20s. Maybe too much for the 330 horser. What do you think?

No joke. I got an awesome price. The stock 17" bullitt's kinda suck. These are for sale at a good price.

k... can't say no loud enough. 20's on new edge cars look like crap. Those particularly look like chit. Only a fur coat wearing New Orleans pimp would use Pearl grips on a pistol or those rims on a stang.

Remember those 20's will make braking performance suffer horribly and they'll reduce your effective HP and TQ. Oh yeah... and tires are 250 bucks a pop to start, on sale, plus shipping.

I am indeed removing them. They are for sale. They fit any RWD or 4WD Ford. They may look good on a truck?

Any buyers/traders can contact me any time.

I am looking for a set of 20" chrome bullitt's.

19" in back and 18" in front is as big as you really want to go. You have no idea how expensive tires will start getting with V8 power, a short wheelbase and 300 dollar tires. The v8 grunt and short wheelbase makes it horribly easy to roast the meats and therefore even more tempting. You can scrub off 2-3K miles with one good burnout and Z rated tires are not known for being useful much past 15-18K miles.

I'd even suggest stopping at 18" all the way around.

you need to agree that 20's on your car will look like ****. DO NOT GET 20's ON A NEW EDGE!!!!!!

18's MAX!! 18's on a new edge are the best looking.

Dude, those rims look like ****. I cannot honestly think of a single car they would look good on. they are just so ******* ugly it is laughable.

If i saw you driving that doen the street i would pull up next to you, point at you and LAUGH MY *** OFF, then take my time beating the tar out of yer mustang in a race because of how much those god forsaken samarai-snowflake looking things would slow you down.

And now, you are looking for another set of 20's?

dude, 20's look like **** on the new edge sn95s. Plain and simple.

sorry man, i know im coming off a little harsh, but seriiously, you need to just sell that mustang and get yerself some SUV if yer into **** like that. Or go get an oldschool caddie and donk it out.

Sorry took so long. As stated in previous posts- Shorty headers with full SLP exhaust (and no....I have not heard a better stang to date, except for full on racers), K & N complete airflow system, and some other small mods. Basically I just opened up the breathing capability of the 4.6. Considering an aftermarket supercharger, but maybe not cause this is enough for the daily driver.
Local dyno at 337 RWHP. Have slip proof if you need it.

There is no way it makes 337rwhp or anything even remotely close to it with those mods. Sounds like you got someones elses dyno sheet.

Do some research Todd. Just the exhaust mod is 40+ HP, let alone the intake and pulleys and etc...
