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)


These things really dwarf the ******* 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?




But..let me say it..I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR OVER A ******* YEAR!

HELL YEAH!

 

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.

 

nice bro, its like christmas isn't it? wiating for stuff to come then it finally arrives! . i just got my Rear 17x10.5 bullitts(black) and flowmaster dual exhaust(40's) and just orderd rear GT Bumper. its like christmas! next thing to order is the front black bullitts(17x9) and Roush Front Bumper.

 

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)



and a taste of a drop

 

cant wait to seem em on the ride, Then your car will be almost as sexy as mine

 

yeah...i didnt think about that. different tires have different beads. well anyway Pcola...I wouldn't worry about it, it hasn't caused me any trouble at all.

 

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.

 

Alright, here are the pics.

Car needs to be lowered so bad.

 

wow looks so much better ... congrats

can i ask where u got ur fogs too?

 

Got them at autozone a couple of years ago for 15$..don't know what the brand was, but they have glass lenses

 

looks good, but you need to lower it

 

lol yeah..trust me as soon as AM gets the springs to me those stock ones are going bye-bye

 

Don't you Hate your V6? I hate mine... lol

 

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.

 

lol..yeah man. It looks worse in the pictures than it does it person though...crazy.


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?

 

then a few more days till they settle. car is coming together man...congrats.

 

Thanks man, after I find out whether or not I need CC's I'll do the shocks&struts.

 

im starting to love those rims, they look great man.
congrats

 

I did all the suspension stuff almost a week ago and i still don't even need an alignment.

 

Looks good get some tint and some Tail light tint and your car will look real nice.

 

Yea, Its called rim guard. That particular Sumi tire is the only tire I've ever seen without it (I'm sure there are probably others). The Sumi HTRZ II's have the rim guard and will sit flush with the edge, but not the HTRZ I tires pictured. I couldn't stand that tire when I had them for that exact reason, but you won't find a cheaper 315!

 

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.
