LAST500 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Decided to have the wheels powder coated black (between satin and flat). Looks more aggressive I think. 285/20/35 on 20 X 9.5 305/20/35 on 20 X 11 Same Goodyear Eagles (except larger of course) No rub because I had a custom offset built, but clearance is within 3-5 mils everywhere (calipers, strut tower, etc).

Mr. Haney Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Decided to have the wheels powder coated black (between satin and flat).

Who built the wheels? How much has your has your car been lowered? They look like ADV.1, but I'm not sure of that. I want to run a 20x10 with the 285/35 20s on the front of mine. I know the tire is going to be extremely close to the frame rail and plastic wheel house when the steering wheel is at full lock. I have been waiting for ADV to build my wheels for 3 months now, they say I should stay with a 275/35 20 tire or I'll have rubbing issues at full lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moody03svt Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 does look good, really good. Love the color combo and the menacing look! I am also interested in the suspension lowering details. Also, I would be scared of the wider tire up front kicking back tons of rocks with the Eagles. I have a slight, very slight, problem with that on my factory tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAST500 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 The rock kick from the front wide 285 Eagles isn't so bad because I have those Roush side skirts on the car. The wheels are very much like the ADV wheel that you mention, and are made by the same company that makes wheels for ADV and many other wheel manufacturers. Kartoyz (4082511496) had them made for me and they worked out a custom offset (I do not know what it is) so that I have no rub inside the wheel arches turn to turn. I did not go with ADV because they take way too long to deliver the product and also their pricing is way high (although I do like their designs very much). The car is dropped about 1.4 inches in the front and 1.8-1.9 inches in the rear; with Eibach's Sport lowering springs. The car settled about a quarter of an inch more than they spec'd after About 2-3 weeks. I love the stance and the rear is not so high compared to the front. Thanks for the compliments.

SMOKE Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Sure would be nice to know that offset for other owners thinking along the same lines. The ride looks great and the stance is spot on. Good call on the wheels. Thanks for sharing pics and details on that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Handler Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 That is a mean looking GT500. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAST500 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I will try to get the specs on the wheel offsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICOOLUM Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The car looks awesome, I also would love to know those offsets as I would like to get similar size at least on the back. Might stay a litlle smaller up front. Was your car equipped with the adjustable suspension? I wasnt sure if changing the springs effects anything with the factory adjustable suspension. The one thing I dont like is the 4x4 look. The car is a natural for a more dropped look I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAST500 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 The car does have the adjustable suspension, and lowering it did not impact it's functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
