finally, my new wheels

[grendi 16]

a little over one year has passed since i bought my car, and now i finally could mount my new wheels, thanks to the guys over at rims-n-tires that were not only willing but also able to sell and ship the wheels to switzerland.

 

 

Specs:

Foose Nitrous Legend

18x8 ET1 with Nitto Invo 235/40R18

18x9 ET7 with Nitto Invo 275/35R18

 

i chose that size because the outer diameter is almost identical to the 695-14 that were originally on my car and i didn't have to adjust the speedometer

 

note to european mustang owners: if your planing to order wheels from rimzoneonline or performancetireplus, think again. everything they do is waste your time.

Love it! Nice stance & clean.

[simps3d 10]

that's sharp dude.

[grendi 16]

yes, but it will look even better after i do a shelby drop.

[Surf Ghost302 10]

wow those are nice.. how much did you pay altogether? cause im looking for new rims and tires at the moment.

[Fordrevhead 29]

yes, but it will look even better after i do a shelby drop.

 

It will handle better... unfortunately, for my liking, it looks better now than it will with the drop. I am struggling with this on my 70 coupe. I like the nose up a little stance.... better for launching anyway. :shifty:

wow those are nice.. how much did you pay altogether? cause im looking for new rims and tires at the moment.

 

Too much because of the shipping cost to Switzerland. (~700$)

I payed around 2130 + shipping.

I but if you choose a different tire, you can save a few hundred bucks.

 

If I would order again, I might also consider the Nitrous II (2 piece rims), cause I had the legends rebalanced for high speed, just in case I should visit a German vintage car meeting ;-) and was a little bit shocked how much weight we had to put on them until the machine showed me the desired 0.

Do the rear tires rub on the fenders?

[grendi 16]

no they don't. i can make some close up pictures if your interested.

[grendi 16]

Thats one of the nicer coupes ive seen. i like how u kept the stock hood. very nice. is it just me or do coupes look great from some angles, but ugly from others? i love my coupe but when i see if from certain angles, i think its just weird looking.

[grendi 16]

thanks, unfortunatly it has a 20 foot paint job :whistling:

 

i bought a dynacorn hood scope a year ago, but decided not to use it after seeing the poor build quality :surrender:

 

coupes look great from most angles, but on every car you will find angle from where it looks weird. :biggrin:

Grendi, what is the backspacing on your wheels?

[grendi 16]

according to this chart:

http://www.mhtwheels.com/cms_pdf/F105%20Legend1.pdf

 

18x8 ET1 -> 4.5" front

18x9 ET7 -> 5.25" back

Hello, Can you post some pictures of your car? I am thinking to replace my bullitt wheels and, Can I install other taller tires without rub the fenders?

[grendi 16]

sure, they can be taller, but not wider.

after doing a shelby drop, i had to roll the fenders on the front

on the way to the swiss "paul walker memorial corso" :crying:

Nice looking Coupe you have there grendi. I am still working on getting the bad sheet metal replaced on mine.

 

[grendi 16]

i might have to change the wheelhouses and quarter panel skins as well in a few year, but for the moment i'm happy the way it is.

your car will be badass as well. i like the rear spoiler and you got the high back seats as well, and do i see a rimblow steering wheel in that picture? :thumbup:

 

maybe i should get that rear spoiler as well.:punk:

[rwcstang 201]

Looks good on the highway! :thumbup:
