nice. i'd be torn on the nismo though because the stockers are so nice.

what color scheme are you going with?

I'll probably get them when the stock tires wear out. go to 9.5s all around. trying to figure out if I can fit 18s

yeah, i'm kinda nervous about that. my 18s looked pretty small on my z even...and even the 19s look small on this thing...

I suggest you rotate front-to-rear every 5,000 miles for optimium life. Because of the rear axle on the Mustang the outside edge of the tire tends to wear a bit more especially if you drive like we do. The fronts wear evenly. If you rotate them it should be good for 12-15,000 miles. Otherwise you're going to get maybe 8k out of the rears.



If you do some searching 18"s look fine on the car as long as you're lowered with a beefy sidewall. Obviously function over form in that case.

If you want to do suspension stuff to the car you want to talk to Sam Strano... he's a multiple time SCCA national champ and is destroying AutoX with his 5.0. He runs 315s on 18x10 (or 18x10.5... can't remember) all around. :eek:

Me... I'm just going to replace the Pirellis with 275 Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around... unless I get a new set of wheels.

Dan, I've been a slacker and had not noticed your thread on the new 5.0. Congrats man! I know you've been working on something between the 5.0 or a Bimmer. Its sharp! Guess we won't be seeing you at Z Nats though eh? Either way, thats one nice looking Stang!

I was actually planning on Znats, but have to be in DC that weekend:shakes head:


I will still be out for Zdayz, etc, though.

Thanks! Get your SL's yet?

Sorry I won't be able to see you and the new Stang when you're up in D.C. Glad to hear we'll see you next year for ZDayZ. I'll try and remember to bring your fold up chair!

The SLs are still enroute. I figure mid-October arrival and then shipped here by end of the month.
