What wheel and tire?
Got a 19" spare tire and wheel off a Hyundai Equus (bought online through LKQ). Bolt pattern is the same as the Mustang and the wheel clears the Brembo brakes just fine. Had to drill out the center of the wheel with a 2 7/8" hole saw and clean it up with my roto-zip to make it fit on the hub.
There's one or two threads on here that tell all about how to do it.
Had to get special lug nuts from my buddy at Brandsport.com as the Mustang lug nuts don't work with the Hyundai wheel. I think I've got about $200 into the project with cost of the spare, a jack, and a puck to save the pinch weld at the jack point.

Looks good! Nice to see as I have the same wheels on, and the same springs are waiting to be installed.

Changed out the oil & filter. While the oil was draining I installed the Steeda shifter bushing. Then got started on lowering. Got the rears done in about 2 hours. Have to hold off on the fronts until my castor/camber plates get shipped. Hopefully I’ll get it all done and aligned (plus long tubes installed) before months end. Then I’ll start the PBD tune. Should be a good summer !

That’s too much work, I think I’ll just order the large Jenga set off Amazon..

Holy crap - those things would dent someone’s head after removing the wrong piece and being “Jenga’d”! :devil:

Killed a spider that was trying to make a web in my trunk. Gotta do something on a rainy day.

It was already raining so killing the spider had no effect lol.

I dont know if anyone can help me try and troubleshoot a noise, before I start calling transmission places/dealership.-- its not the engine, its either throw out bearing, or input shaft bearing, or maybe it needs new manual gear tranny fluid. (ordered some amsoil 75w-90) already, figure thats the cheapest attempt to fix.

I have 170,000 on this clutch. Its been this way probably 70k miles. lol. what sucks is, there's a TSB for input shaft bearing, but it expired at 60k miles, and well im outside that.

1. No noise when clutch is fully pushed in with leg. 2. No real noise when clutch is out, in idle. 3. Noise gets louder, in gear, as you go higher RPM. I am hoping its a throwout bearing, as I can get new one with a clutch. I hope its not input shaft bearing. It drives perfect, other than whirring noise. I am at 170k miles. I am going to drain and refill transmission with amsoil 75w-90 gear lube to see if it quiets it down, maybe it'll lubricate the gears and make everything quiet.

I dont have any grinding, I dont have any pop out shifts, nothing, other than a whirring noise on acceleration/annoying. if it was the throw out bearing, when I eventually get a new clutch job it would be fixed, but im not interested in really tearing down tran for a rebuild if it isn't needed.
