Sorry I'm not a fan of anything that's not an oem/replica rim. Maybe I'm old fashioned. If you like though that's all that matters.

wheels

I like 'em! That's the first one I've seen with those AR wheels. Very nice. It's nice to see you went NON-OEM. The bullits are WAY too common. It doesn't take much imagination to throw a set of those on.

Wheels looks very nice. Kind of bling, but not as bad as some of truck rims i see on olds' backfiring their way around town here...

I like 'em, but yours is the one that counts.

Now all you need is to get that back end down out of the sky!!!

It looks like it's staring down a .12 and reaching!

From: It's tough in the jungle !
1/2 inch !

In the old day's people cut or shaved their springs . My family has has been in the auto and truck suspension business for over thirty years, and technically thats not recommended, but I have seen a couple of posts on here were stang owners have, and seem to have no problems! Roush has a spring set that drops the rear 3/4 inch, I have spent a lot of time measuring my 06 GT and for the first thing the suspension looks to be setup on metric measurements. the best I can tell the GT rear ride hight is a little over 3/4 of a inch higher the reason is to give the car rake angle which is very important! but often over looked when we start altering our suspensions. Thats why the Ford's handling package does a 1.5 inch drop front and back which keeps the 3/4 inch rake angle... the 1.5 drop looks great and is fabulous on the track or metropolitan areas were you have good smooth pavement but is a little too extreme for me personally.. I'm not trying to sell Roush products or anything, I'm just using there suspension system as a referance... Roush does a 3/4 drop front and rear and I am sure thats not by accident! it makes those railroad tracks and speed bumps a little more forgiving ...
