Talking PBM Modded Knuckles w/ Mazdtrix Angle Kit

Hey whats up i was wondering if anyone could help me out ive been searching for awhile but maybe i can seem to find the key words to type. I have Powered By Max modded knuckles with the mazdtrix angle kit here are some questions i have.

Im getting these mustang wheels 17x9 24mm, 17x10.5 27mm.

1. Will a 9 inch wheel hit the sway bar with that much angle?
2. Can i air hammer in the wheel wells to make fitment?
3. Anything else anyone think might get in the way of the wheel? I will probably stretch some tires on the front a little to clear up some room.


Any help is well appreciated!!!

i was running the same setup on my fc

1. more than likely yes, completely remove sway bar
2. yes, but i found it easier to go to town with real big hammer
3. your offsets way to high, its gonna hit everything. get 25-35mm spacers

+1 for removed front sway bar... i did and have never looked back... i pulled off both, as did JTP, and pretty much everyone else with 2nd gen RX7's in drifting. feels good. try it.

+1 also on the wheel spacers. if you dont wanna buy them to help clear stuff, then buy them for the fashion show. spacers are always full of win.

I currently have a stock s5 T2 Lsd... Which I'm going to weld before I start out this season. It currently slips like a mother, and I heard they only get worse when they get hot at drift events.

If you're willing to spend the money, go for a aftermarket clutch-type lsd. Or if youre broke, just weld living day-lights out of it....
Thats what people have told me.

Mine did make it that high here is the dyno on 17lbs made nearly 300hp but i never put it on high boost we just did on the dyno to see how much power we could make. You can tell it drops of drastically at like 5.5k stock turbo cant suck in anymore air. Id like to get it rebuild by bnr. Any suggestions on what stage for drifting?
