My new mustang rims **PICS [56K maybe]**
Hi all,
I'd like to thank the forum members that helped me in my other thread...
Mustang GT Rims (2005) mint condition - $160
Bridgestone Potenza RE070 225/45/17 (8/32nd Tread) - $75
4 Cans Duplicolor Bronze Wheel Paint, 2 Cans Clearcoat - $35
TOTAL - $270
The lug studs were long enough, although i've read otherwise on some threads (8-9 Turns). The front tires are sticking out a hair and rub on hard cornering and big bumps. I gotta say the paint was amazing...
Here's the pics.

I thought the 05 and up had a different offset that wouldn't fit, like +45 or so vs 94 - 04 at + 30 or +32. I have 98 Gt rims with 225 255 and 235 with g force sport would fit in the front 245 might. 265 would fit in the back but be to big for the rim.

HUH? so you fit 245's in the front with no rub?? that's odd...haven't really seen anyone else with that kinda fitment.
Offset seems to be about +30. I'm pretty sure there are also differences in the manufacterers "225" size. My tires were made just for the STi by Bridgestone, maybe they are on the big side of 225?

Yeah, I wish i could get some Advan RG's or something, but for the price and tire options i have now, i can't complain.
Thanks for the advice in my other thread.

SPRINGS WILL BE NEXT...DON'T WORRY....now i just have to wait for them to not be backordered.... see sig.
Also, the bronze looks a little pukey in the pics, i'll try to get some better pics tomorrow in the light, it looks really nice.
How do i add front camber? without pillowball mounts?
Also, I wanted black lugnuts, but autozone only had a choice of blue, gold and red...oh well.

To add some camber check out Ingalls for front strut mounting bolts. Changing the upper bolt that hold the spindle to the front strut give you about 2 degrees of adjustment. change bopth to get up to 4 degrees. Also rotating the pillow block in the mounting holes of the shock tower can allow for some adjustent of caster and camber. Normally there is a small white dot on the rubber mount near the front inner strut tower mounting bolt. moving that to anothe location changes the camber and caster.

ALthough i used flat black hi-temp paint to do my old rims, which probbly didnt help...i wonder if the duplicolor black wheel paint has any mica/flakes in it?
