Ding, Ding, Ding....we have a winner here folks.lol Yes, they're the rim protector that I didn't remove for the pics. Does look kind of interesting though. I did get the wheels installed today. :)
Good timing my friend.lol I just installed my BC Forged RS45 wheels today along with a completely new set of Atlas Tires. I think they're definitely good enough to run as a daily tire. The tires in the pics I just took off the rear of my car and they still have over half tread left after some...
I can't wait to get them installed. Unfortunately, I forgot to order new TPMS sensors beforehand. Just ordered them yesterday and hope to get everything installed next week. I'll post up pics then :)
Just received my new gloss black BC Forged RS45's from Paul at PKAUTODESIGNS. Fronts are 20x10 ET+30 and Rears 20x11 ET+50. Here's a few pics of each one. From what I can tell, I'll be the first S550 to run these for some reason.
Lets see...
1) 1978 Mustang II Ghia with 302. Pulled motor and added heads, cam, headers and 411's. Hurt a lot of feelings back in the day.
2) 1984 Mustang GT350(20th anniversary model)
3) 1985 Mustang GT Hatch
4) 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 convertible
5) 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 Hatch
6) 2015...
For me, the biggest difference and reason I like the Gen 2 bumper overall, is the location of the fog lamps. I like the way they're placed individually on their own at the bottom corners of the bumper, instead of integrated together with the indicator lamps of the Gen 3 bumper. On the Gen 3...
The 305/35/19 is 27.4" tall and my factory 265/35/20's are 27.3" tall. So yes, you're correct. I'm looking on doing a 305/35/20 or a 315/35/20 on my new wheels and these are both over 28" tall which will fill in more of the gap that's still left after my 1" drop.
I was debating on switching to 19's, but tire sizes are too limited. I actually want a little bit taller tire to make my drop even a little more aggressive with my Steeda Progressive springs. 19's are too short.
I've been going back and forth trying to decide on a 5 spoke wheel with deep concave in the sizes I want and the wheel I always come back to is the BC Forged RS45. I love the spoke design as its thinner and really like how it tapers down towards the barrel of the wheel. I've searched this...
There's got to be available Ford parts for this set-up as my 2017 Explorer Platinum has a front view camera that comes up in the Sync 3 display by simply pushing a button. I use it often when parking. I don't understand why they don't offer front mount cameras for sports cars with splitters...
Never thought of that...good point. But tires don't typically last that long on the back of my car anyways. So that was the big reason to try something else that was a lot cheaper than the Continentals(which I love). I am just surprised how well the Atlas tires hook up in the dry and wet. At...
I have an obscure bolt-on.lol A couple of years ago I installed the Granatelli calibrated MAF sensor after installing the FR PowerPack 3. I've read the reviews and they're hit or miss for people as far as performance gains. For me, I felt a little bit better throttle response throughout the...
Interesting, I never noticed my pedal not coming all the way back up, but I already had my clutch,flywheel, slave, braided line, etc. done. Not sure if any of those pieces is the factor or not.
I pulled my spring out about 2 years ago and didn't replace it with anything as well. Every once in awhile I may get a lockout shifting at redline(7500 rpms), but its pretty rare.
It hooks up just fine now asswipe. I guess you can't read, cause the Atlas tires hook up just as well as the Conti's do. Thanks for your douchebag reply to my post.
I picked up a set of Stainless Power catless longtubes for sale at BeefCake Racing a couple weeks ago for $785. That's a good deal and they're quality headers that a lot of people are running. I also picked up a pair of G-Sport Gesi ultra high-output green cats that I'll be installing with the...
