RPM 1,190 Report post Posted October 11, 2014 How about 17" and 18" :) These are 17X8 and 18X10 that fit the 94-04 stang. Running a 1" spacer up front. Rolled fender lip in front and rear, done at the body shop when in paint. No spacer out back. Running 245/45 and 285/35 out back Several really cool cars posted here! Nice job guys. I like the 17/18 combo. If I had a fat wallet I'd go that route with custom backspace. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketyler 15 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Sorry, just saw this. From memory, my wheels are 17x11 in rear and 17x8 in the front. Am running 315/35-17 in back and 245/40-17 in front. Front has Shelby drop and 1.5 coils cut from stock springs. Rear springs were dearched 2" and 2" drop block added. The car was dropped 4" but I raised it up 1" by adding rubber spacer up front and swapping 2" block for 1"block. There are other alternatives to get this drop and I plan to re-do it at some point. I would not recommend de-arching springs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buening 63 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Mike, refresh my memory you did some mods to the rear wheelhouses to get those to fit with the car dropped that far....right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketyler 15 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 No, just the light malletizing on the foward inside area of the wheel house that you are probably already familiar with. Car does have SSBC rear disc kit but didn't change trac width. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive got the ssbc comp r kit and worried a little about the looks.... I don't think it will look that bad. before my Cobra brake swap, I had the Granada Swap, I just repainted the calipers and got slotted rotors it looked good with my 17 TT's. IMO, as long as it performs great i don't think "looks" should matter. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwscarab 20 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Rear 18x9.5's with 285/40R18 The rear does rub on good bumps. I have the rear quarters rolled. I think it could handle more back spacing. Front 17's. No issues up front at all. I'd like to drop it another 1/2" to 3/4" with the Shelby drop. Edited October 18, 2014 by jwscarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwscarab 20 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Jwascarab what is your bs? And width? 285's on the rear and if I am measuring correct, I believe I have 6" back spacing on the rear. I think it could go another 1/2" Edited October 18, 2014 by jwscarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
