Hey, thanks! the front are a 20x9 with a +32mm offset and a 6.62"backspacing and the tears are a 20x10.5 with s +45mm offset and a 7.52" backdpacing they weigh 30lbs each. Even at 2lbs difference per rim compared to my PP wheels you can feel a huge difference.

Ps front I'm running 275 tire and rear I'm running a 305

Yeah it sitts nice and flush. I'm running Eibach sportlines on all 4 corners. No rubbing issues at all. Looks like I could go bigger tires on all 4 corners as well with zero issues.

My contribution. I've been working on my suspension for quite a while now and I'm finally almost there. Next up will be spacers, black lugs, CPC mud flaps, gloss black roof and side mirrors.

Down the road I'm leaning towards Project 6GR wheels but I'm still on the fence.

New Drone... New Pic

Was out with my friend and took some a pic of my car, and some vid footage. I will pull out a couple more pics from the video.

Man... I am always amazed at how LB is so stunning in the sun!

Oh snap @Omega , drone shots!!! Nice! Whenever my friend gets his drone out of his tree I might try the same...on second thought, if he got his drone stuck way up in a tree, he might crash into my car...will have to think on this one lol.

@Jmart ...are those the Roush hood louvers on yours?

WOW car looks awesome !!! :hail::hail::hail::hail:

Yup, Roush hood vents installed a couple months ago. I like them, they fit with the blue/black scheme I'm working towards. Install was easy, I'd buy them again.

Suspension upgrades completed. BMR 082/089, vert links, toe links, cradle lockout, front chassis brace, camber bolts. Eibach 20 mm spacers all around. The stance is perfect for me considering I have driveway issues and wanted the look to not be overly aggressive. This is what the from the factory stance should be. And the driving experience is like night and day with the BMR items over the PP stock suspension. Next up...tint.

Love the color of the car. Looks awesome :ford:

Lightning Blue looks amazing on these cars.

Dsquared, did you have to trim your studs with the 20mm spacers?

I may have posted this but I just cropped it and was looking at it more closely...we LB owners sometimes get asked or refer to a "color shift"...I remember saying to myself when I took this pic with my phone that I was very happy to have part of the car in shade and part in bright sun...even some parts that are in the sunny part of the pic show a dramatic (imho) color shift effect...at least to these old eyes lol. I think our color has one of the best color shift effects of a non-mystic paint job that I've seen.
