Looks great justin...I can't wait until mine get here!

 

....but looking at the second to last picture in your post #8 (and here's the last two), I swear it looks like a 295/30/20 would work just fine??? :headscratch:

I guess it would depend on the brand and model of tire. I'm sure you can get away with it, I just would suggest that you stay with 285/30/20 in the same tires as mine. You gotta admit, these tires I have are amazing... :happy feet:

You know, the other 20" wheels I had before these felt good with the FRPP suspension package, but these new wheels make it MUCH better. I mean it's perfect. It's tough, it's firm, it feels like you're in full control, there's no roll, it's just downright badass. I'm tellin you guys...these wheels with these tires and this suspension package were MADE FOR EACH OTHER. It is awesome. I don't really know how else to describe it. My car feels like I'm driving an F1 car as far as stability and cornering goes, but it's comfortable, not too stiff, just right. It's MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than the stock setup. Night and day difference. I never had a knock in my stock suspension, and I certainly don't have one now. It's quiet with no noise. I would NEVER go back to the way it was before all my mods. Also, I DID get a BMR adjustable panhard rod. When I finished the suspension mod installation, i set the car down off the jacks and the axle and wheels were just about perfectly centered, but I went ahead and got the panhard rod anyways. It may have been off by a few millimeters, but now it's perfect. Lastly, thanks a bunch for the compliments. I would have to agree with you...my car DOES look great. The more I do to it, the better it's looking. Just wait til I get my brakes installed... :drool:

Looks soooo hot................definitely made for each other!!! Need to up the ante on the brakes big time now though!

 

Were the other 20's that you had forged as these? I wonder if that is part of the reason that the handling feels so different. Or perhaps its just the offset and width?

Those wheels look really sharp - and I can see you are slightly enthusiastic about them. :)

 

I'll have to get a set some day. At the rate you're attaching photos, you might consider using the services of Photobucket to host your photos - here's a link to instructions if you're interested.

The other 20s were cast aluminum. Since you mention it, maybe that IS why the feeling is so much better :headscratch: The brakes are coming!!!! I need em bad!!!! Can't wait to get em on the car!!!! It's killin me!!!! My baby girl is incomplete!!!! All day, all night, at home, at work, I dream of my car and can't get her out of my head!!!! I'm completely obsessed with her!!!! This "Shelby" thing is a disease and I'm terminal... :cry:

Justin, after seeing your beast in person, I have to say the pics does not do your car justice. It is beatiful and the ride is awsome :happy feet: :happy feet:

Thanks for the ride and hope to see ya in Sealy on the 24th.
