DEEP IMPACT BLUE S550 MUSTANG Thread

[S550GTRed5]

Just for you DIB fans out there, here's some photos of my mustang down under here in west oz. I just ticked over the 50,000 km mark so thought it was as good a time as any to take some more photos!

Thank you but I like 20's, I want something with more offset and I want something wider in the rear.

See photos below for reason to need more offset; at least in the front.

Hey Ben, I agree.. a meatier tire will look better. Although the PP wheels don't look bad. I know that a lot of guys have issues with spacers when running air suspensions....gotta have room to slam it!

I agree; they don't look bad from the side. I really don't like the idea of running spacers (within reason, a 2-5mm spacer is acceptable); I feel a better offset wheel is the route to go if you are getting wheels. Running a 25mm spacer is just asking for problems IMO.
I have attached a better view for reference; I apologize for the over exposed, over saturated look.
I currently run a 305/35/19 Nitto NT05R on my stock rear wheels.

Yeah, that looks really good. Can't wait to see your new wheels!

Man, really love that stripe combo.. you really hit it out of the park!

Cracked my fender last summer. Bought a new fender. Had it painted. Color didn't match perfect when I put it on. Was fine not matching for a few months. Dropped the car off last night. Got prepped and color was laid this morning.

Below are a couple photos with the cracked fender too.
I am on Airlift suspension.

Looks like a good match Ben. Are you happy with how it turned out? How did you end up cracking it?

I am accepting the new match a lot more than the previous match. For us, there are two paint codes. A J4 and a J4L. Avoid the J4L at all cost. The J4L has a light base coat which over the entire fender was way too light.

You wont have this problem being Lightening Blue now but still a consideration.

I was aired out for some photos, which by the way didn't turn out, and when I aired up, I must have turned the wheels slightly and caught the inner lip of the fender with the tire. It pulled the fold down and cracked it instead of bending it like steel would have.
