OMG Oops! — Update

[Mustangmatty]

I accidently clicked "checkout".

Been stewing for a while. Now just Need to find a good price on some Michelin 285/35/19 Pilot Sport 4S tires, TPMS Sensors (Levittown?) and already have a place lined up for ceramic coating. Should look rather nice on a 20' VB CS eh?

Is that like accidentally having the cheerleader over for pizza and soda, when the parents are out of town?

LOL I’ll blame Coors for the confidence to click the button but a cheerleader would have been better. I don’t know anyone with usaa off hand but I could ask around. That’s buy 3 get one free. Are you running the supercar3s? If so do you know how they stack up to the Michelins?

They handle noticeably better than the ps4s imo and stronger dry grip. Unless az weather is plagued by constant sogginess no clear reason to prefer the Michelin.

Interesting. I shall do some research. Most everyone here seems to be a proponent for the 4s. I’ll do some research on the supercars. I appreciate your feedback!

May require a 5 or 6mm thick spacer on front to keep wheel from touching the strut. Don't go to thick or you'll need longer studs as you lose thread engagement. Should look great on a VB!!

Thanks for the heads up. I did call Apex and the stated they should be straight bolt on. I’ll definitely do a test fit up front before mounting tires.

have them throw in the Whiteline IRS bushing insert kit. KDT-943. It's cheap and does the business and very easy to install. It's even on sale.

and if you don't have them, the IRS alignment dowels.

Got an email from Steeda. The braces are in production and have to wait 3 weeks. Will give me time to ponder addons.
Good new is wheels came a day early!

Those will look great! I went staggered with 20" rims, 8.5 on front and 10s on the back
They fill up the wheel wells nicely without needing to lower car.

Thank you! I went square on 19s. Gives me the option to rotate and squat it down if I choose in the future. I think the anthracite color is gonna look great with some rubber on it.

Anthracite was my 2nd choice for rims, I hated the GT/CS rims, and since I'm old school I still like Chrome and Foose Legends won out.

Yeah the GT/CS wheels weren’t really doing it for me. I almost did the race silver….

Oh and an update… wheels dropped off for ceramic coating…TPMs sensors should be arriving today. Now where the heck are my tires
