Hi there

Car looks ace mate!

Any performance/acceleration and handling differences between running the 19" and 20" wheels?

 

[beauackx]

Mustang fever right?

Thanks for the additional info.
I ordered the Ford Performance version, mainly because of the reduced price and because I realized that in 6 months I almost never opened my hood, so the longer brackets have a minor importance for me.

Original spare wheel

My spare wheel kit came in yesterday. It has an aluminum rim in size 5J18 that (as a special surprise to me :doh is painted black instead of silver as depicted in the Ford official product pics.

The kit comes with a jack + folding lug wrench and a different double threaded stud that is used to lock the jack to the floor and then to lock the wheel over the jack.

The tire is a Maxxis 155/60/18 which is significantly lower than the original tires (6.5%) so this really is to be used for slow emergency driving only. The tire could actually have been slightly higher as the wheel sits freely in the well, so a bit surprised why Ford didn't use a 265/60 for example.

Anyway it all fits excellent, locks in like a rock and the top floor stays nice and flush.

Btw for those of you who haven't gone through the car's manual from A-Z: In the bottom left corner of the last picture you can see a little white funnel that is hanging underneath the plastic floor edge. This is to be used when you run out of gas and have to fill up from a jerry can or something similar. The funnel will keep the easy fuel gas cap open and also the secondary valve that's a little deeper in the line. Alternatively it can also be used for emergency female relief shoud such an occasion rise unexpectedly.

Can you supply a picture?

My car is not at home now. But the sides are a bit to high. It's not the ones at the front bumper

Roush Style Side Stripes

Made in Holland, since Roush doesn't sell theirs as separate parts. I juiced them up with SVO logos:

 

[papinist]

An adjustement both of you have to consider.

I wanted to do it months ago after the reading the thread you mentioned above, but then realized it might be something to stop the bonnet going up and down at high speeds. At least that's what some car magazines told in their reviews. I've never seen the bonnet doing anything like that, not even at autobahn speeds. So I figured it might be a flaw to cover another one :ford: and should look it up first, then totally forgot about it.

So did any of you guys (@UNtamed67 , [MENTION=7100]Ericc B[/MENTION] or anybody else) adjust the bonnet?

** He asks months after :headbonk: **

Great thread btw [MENTION=7100]Ericc B[/MENTION]! You've solved more questions I had about suspension, wheel spacers and tires with your build than all the threads in the suspension and wheel forums together :hail:

Man! The car is looking great! The hockey stripe really ties the room together. What do you have planned next?
