Hey, Dan. I guess we can see now just why Ford chose to use this color and wheel combination in its early advertising campaigns.

And that Redfire looks amazing when polished with Zaino. I still think the combo you have is one of the best looking on the road.

Were there any complications adding 255 series tires to those wheels? What profile are they and did you alter the offset at all?

Lastly, do you have any more pics of your car that you can post here? I'd love to see some low ground front and rear shots to see how wide the tires look.
Thanks for the compliments. There are no problems adding 255's whatsoever to the 8.5" wide fanblades. Just use 255 45R18 and the overal diameter stays the same. I did not alter the offset at all.

Here's a link to the original thread with all the pics from that day! Pics of My Redfire GT w/ Blades

When I had my Mustang, here's what they'd see. Fun to drive, but after driving a buddy's 06 GT, I don't miss it so much anymore.

AC111 wheels, 8.5x17 front, 9.5x17 rear, BFG KDW 275/ 40rz tires front with BFG KDW 285/40rz rears. Steeda sport springs, rear only.
Any side shot instead of a 3/4?

I want to see what it looks like with just the rear dropped as I am considering this.

Thanks, looks perfect. Now, where to find someone who sells just the rear springs.

They're not listed separately on the website, but several people have purchased the Steeda Sport springs (rear only) by calling the order in. (I found out after I purchased the set of four ).

Gee Golly, Thanks!

American Racing Torq Thrust 2's with BFG Kdw's 8's & 10's on 18" rims & bullit center caps. Stock springs with BMR LCA's and Panhard bar. Still looking into springs/shocks.
