What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

My knowledge in this are is limited which is why I’m asking. 5mm is a 1/5 of an inch. Seems too small to bother.

Because I like where it’s at
Itl be 8.7mm in further where I’m at I’m just trying to get a little closer to where I was

The new design has four bolts, seems stronger for sure.

Nice.
I'll have to check if mine is that. Not sure.

The strength of the plate-to-bracket connection won't likely be the vulnerable point. The Sto-n-Sho on my 2018 5.0 PP1 was rendered useless by one careless driveway exit that crushed the splitter-mounted receiver so it was impossible to insert the bracket rods. It took quite a bit of drilling and grinding to rehabilitate the union. Beware.

Got my BD-27's with new PS4S installed today. Final alignment appointment on Wednesday.

What are the tires and rims. Photos please. Love the rims.

I don't doubt this, but it hangs down, what, 1/2" at most? I'm stock ride height and recognize steep angles when approaching them. I do think 3M tape on the receiver would be a good upgrade, since the screws are just there for placement purpose at that point.

Thanks. By the way forgot to say congrats on the new wheels. Looking forward to seeing them on your car.

Though I have black or dark gray wheels on my most of my cars, except the VW, I think those will look great on your car.

ORDERED RF2 WHEELS!

Soon this will be my car.

hopefully turns out as good as I imagining. got to find QUALITY 5mm spacers guys, if you know the best ones for our car, let me know. I want the best ones I can buy. Hubcentric but cant find shit.

Did you happen to ask the seller who the manufacturer is?

RIms are these, got them on sale for about 40% off, couldn't pass that up. They are still on sale too, normally over 2K. These are the 20x10 and 20x11's.

Tires were just put on, they are the Michelin PS4S in 305/35/20 and 285/35/20.

Chris what length wrench were you using? I was trying a 6ish inch flex head that left my hand right in the choke point where I couldn't get a good grip

Here is a picture of the wrench I used. I was able to just barely move the wrench maybe less than 1/8 turn so it took a while to remove the nut but did the job.

What did you use?

I rebelled - I didn't use ceramic, neither did I pay someone someone else hundreds to do it for me ... lol

Megs Ultimate Quick Wax - Because I had it in the garage, it's quick and it suited the damp conditions that I had to work in.

It plays well with water too, it rained last night :

I will use it as a drying aid over the winter months and put something more fancy on there when the nicer weather returns.

On a cost v benefit basis I think this stuff is great

All paint prep was done by me as I took the car untouched from the dealer - full details in my build thread
