The PP2 wheels I bought on a whim, not sure if I'm keeping or selling them? I'll shoot you a PM if I decide to sell.

The P Zero's are certainly entertaining...I ended up almost completely sideways yesterday, giving it too much throttle out of a corner. They are coming off ASAP, and in the meantime I'm going to drive very chilled :lol:
Sounds good!

Yea smart move...even stock with a tune only the pzeros are a bit sketchy. Shit I’ve gotten completely sideways on my 19” dr’s recently with too much throttle going straight in second gear at this power level lol.

Nearly killed myself a few times driving around on the 265 P Zeros, so pulled the trigger on new shoes earlier than planned.

RTR Tech Mesh. 20x9.5", 20x10.5", 255/35 front, 315/35 rears. Nitto G2 555.

Thanks brotha!

Yes, weight was right around 24-25 per wheel. Here is the comparison of full wheel tire set up:

Stock 20” Foundry’s:





And then RTR front:




And rear (315 is a big ass tire lol)






So totals:


Foundry set up: 252lbs
RTR set up: 234lbs

So if you include swapping the heavy factory chrome lug nuts out for some thin monster lugs, weight savings are pretty much 20lbs over the stock foundry’s.

The RTR wheels are flow formed, so overall weight of the set up is very reasonable.

As usual, great choice and great look Tim. The fit is perfect! They do look like they will be as much fun to clean as the PP wheels.

Would it be possible for you to install the MY18 intake manifold on your car combined with the Paxton, work out all of the issues, and then post up a review with detailed instruction on how the task was completed? :):)

This is from the Ford NXT Newsletter: http://www.fordnxt.com/tech-stories...picks-up-big-power-with-a-2018-intake-swap-2/

The MY18 manifold does look like it gives pretty good power return for the $$$. I'd like to see prices come down to a 2015-2017 used manifold prices of $100 a piece on ebay, then I'll pick one up :lol:

What is the offset for the Rear wheels? I just bought a similar sized setup but not sure on what tire would fit with my +40
