Well my order came into today!!
BUT...AM forgot to ship the springs :( So I called them up and talked to a guy there and he said they'd be sending out a set for me, so I guess I can expect those next week some time..gave me no trouble whatsoever, great customer service. As for the wheels..here's a taste, it's too dark now and the car's filthy, I'll wash it in the morning and take some pics then (with the huge 4x4 stance) Attachment 23355 These things really dwarf the fucking stock 6 tires..seems to be a larger diameter too, so you think the speed is off? And 1 concern, the lips of the wheels seem to jut out a few mm from the tire's sidewall, the tires are all at 39PSI, is this normal? Attachment 23356 Attachment 23357 But..let me say it..I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR OVER A FUCKING YEAR! HELL YEAH! :D |
congrats Pcola!!! welcome to CLUB FR5!! lol.
as far as the rim lip poking out...its the design of the rim, mine are like that too. front and rear. |
nice dude! Your car is going from stock to sexy in not time at all now.
|
Thanks guy! Gonna be up at 7 am tomorrow washing this thing.
|

|
Going to look PCola. I just excited when the freakin rear tires came in. Tires, rims and springs is gonna be sweet. Can't wait to see the pics.
|
its actually not the rim design thats making it stick out like that..its the tire. my friend has the same size fr500's and he has nitto's or bfg drs and they dont stick out like that....
here is a taste of what your car will be like with the 4x4...(am for got to send my eibachs too.lol) http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/PureStang/1.jpg and a taste of a drop http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/PureStang/4.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...eStang/3-1.jpg |

congrats on finally gettin em
|
so who's car is in the pics? you didnt put them on your car yet?
|
I think he put them on the car, just isn't taking pictures yet cuz the cars dirty. haha.
|
from the looks of the pics that he posted...he has put them on cause he was comparing them to the stock front tires..
|
Lol, yeah they're on the car guys..but it's filthy, and the tires/wheels are kind of messy as well...so I'll be back shortly.

lol yeah..trust me as soon as AM gets the springs to me those stock ones are going bye-bye
isnt it crazy how even though your new wheels/rims are taller than your old ones, the 4x4 look is more apparent with the new set-up? mine was like that too...always boggles me...must just be a visual trick or something. |

The front end does look high in person though...the ground clearance is insane. AM shipped the springs today and said it would arrive in 3 business days...so Friday or monday? |

Car looks so much better, just the springs on and your good.
39psi is to much needs to be lowered to like 30-32. Your going to wear the middle out fast with that much pressure. |
Looks nice, man.

When you lower the front end and don't adjust your struts, you get negative camber that usually (depends on the magnitude of the drop) cannot be corrected using the stock plates. Driving around without fixing the problem causes pretty severe uneven tire wear.

looks great! So so much better than before....will look even better with the springs as everyone else has said!
|
Yeah its amazing how much just wheels can transform the look of your car.
