Luis- Brenspeed huh.. now we'll have 2 POTR SoCal guys running the Brenspeed tune! That'll soon leave Ray and Leo as the only Bama guys.
Brian- I think the diameter looks fine. Stock is 27.3, but if you went any bigger in tire diameter, the sidewall would look like baloons.
The 0.3" does make a difference, it's like adding a half a finger to the wheel well gap. It's the only reason why I'm switching to the Eibach Pros; too much gap visually with the Ultralites.
This is the dilemma that I kinda have with the 20" tire selection, stay low profile or larger sidewall with an overall larger diameter. I need to see what tire size comes on the stock 20" Saleen cars.

Vortech update...
First start-up has got pushed back to tomorrow. ![Frown](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Only hang up is the MAF connector extension still has to be done.
Hector spent the majority of time after work chasing down an OEM vacuum T-fitting for the boost gauge. After 3 Ford dealers (none had it), he found one at the C***y dealer!![Rollinglaugh](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/rollinglaugh.gif)
Sooo, this completes the 3 sender units for my gauges, all that's left is the wiring stuff.
Latest pics...
Snap-On coolant pressurization kit. System checked at 18 psi for 1+ hour, zero leaks.

Bill.... It sucks that start up got moved back, but good to know that absolutely everything will be done to perfection. That alone makes the wait at least a little better(easy to say when it's not mine......)
It's real hard to compete with the Canton Sexiness.... but I'll try..
The car is dirty and I didn't pick the "perfect" place to park... shadows are long in the morning.
But here you go !!

All this sidewall height (this and another thread) has got me re-thinking on what rear tire size I want.
I was initially considering the Proxes 4 in 295/30ZR20 with a overall diameter of 26.9"...... a -0.4" smaller diameter than stock. But, now I'm afraid that the sidewall may be too skinny, thus creating a larger wheel well gap.
My new tire I'm looking at is a Toyo Proxes T1R in 305/30zr20 with a overall diameter of 27.2". But, these bad boys run around $329 a copy.![Banghead](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif)
OR, I can just run what Shelby recommends, 275/35ZR20 (27.6") and call it a day.
Tire selection, what a PITA.

Since I solved the issue with my PHB, I would recommend the Edelbrock if you want easy adjustability. It couldn't be much more simple to adjust.

awesome!
Tell me about it. I ran so many different tire sizes trying to find the *right* fit, I was about cross-eyed. I didn't want something too big that it looked balloonish or too small. Have to admit Ford did pick a good size wheel/tire combo (once you lower it) for the car. Will go check that thread out. IMO, they 275/35s might be too small.... but I don't know what it'd look like on 20s
HAHAHA...Funny you ask... CHE, is the one I'll probably get because I can get a blue one
After Leo's issues not gonna do the Steeda one.
