New Wheels

zacpounds · Jan 26, 2016

I was looking for the perfect wheels for a while, I spoke with a few companies and ended up with the chance to work with David from Rovos and got something wrapped up. Great guy and his wheels are awesome, I definitely recommend them! Love the quality and the price on these works of art.

I also want to thank Paul [MENTION=11685]Need4SpeedMotors[/MENTION] for all of his help and answering all of my questions even if they were about other wheels. He was always quick to respond and happy to help.

Info on the car:

Slammed on BC Racing coil overs
20x10 Rovos Durban wheels with Brushed Silver finish
3mm front spacer to clear Performance Pack brakes
255/35 tire all around

Anyway.. on to the good stuff.

Those look sexy as hell[emoji7] great color combo!! What offset did you go with? I was thinking about ordering these wheels also but didn't know how a square setup would look, I love it! I also didn't know what color would go good with my magnetic GT. Have you had any trouble with the 10s up front?

Thanks! If you order through Rovos you can do a custom finish. A buddy of mine with Guard Green did a bright green like the 2015 RTR raced by VGJR. I have seen some do a candy red as well on their Magnetic.

They are +38 all around but the front has a 3mm spacer. It does rub the fender a little right now on turns but only because I'm lowered so much. If you do a standard drop with springs you will be fine. I need to camber my front a little more though.

How much did you lower it by?

It's lowered about 3.5" all around.

I was thinking about getting these same wheels in black but now I am concerned. I plan on doing air lift and worry about fitment issues. :(

They will fit fine. If you do 20x10 all around you will just need to camber the front a bit for when you air out. Staggered they fit perfectly. These wheels are made for this car so there are no issues fitment wise, don't worry.

Thanks for the info. I want that concave look both front and back and think these wheels will be perfect for the look I am going for.

It doesn't appear a lot of mustangs use these wheels, though. Are they heavy? What other wheels were you looking at and what made you chose Rovo's?

No problem. They are a relatively new company, they hit the market about two or three years ago so that's part of the reason. But they weigh about the same as any other wheel. Both 20x8.5 and 20x10 weigh 28lbs.

I was looking at completely different wheels. I wanted 19x10+ all around but no companies offered them in spec with the Mustang so I ended up with 20's. Then figured I would check Rovos out because they are local and I have heard and seen good things so I went with them because the price was right.

I think you have helped me make my decision. I am going to get the Durban's

The 28lbs weight is that correct? I read somewhere they were something like 33 lbs which was another reason I was hesitant to go with them.

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Yeah I'm positive, I asked him just this morning for someone else.

Hey Zac - I was under the impression that these would fit over the brembos (20x9 or x10). Is this not the case? I am getting my Ruby PP in a week or so and the Durbans are going right on it. Do I need to order a 3mm spacer for the fronts?

Thanks man!

The 20x10 will not clear without a 3mm spacer on the front. The 20x8.5 will clear the front PP brakes though.

Sweet car, sort of working my ruby red into that territory but not quite as extreme, love the wheels, the 3.5" is a little much for me but to each his own.

Thank you. Believe it or not I plan to go lower but that will take some time. Haha.
