(...two, three...)

aaaaaaaand still waiting...

:bang: :bang: Huston we have a problem... :bang: :bang:

So the wheels arrive today as planed. I load'em up in the ol'pickup and take them to the tire shop to get the BFG's mounted. All is well, they put the wheel wieght's on the inside to maintain a nice clean look. I get home jack up the rear and mount the 285's. They look freakin awsome!! I jack up the front get the first one on, snug it up, give it a spin and to my dismay it rubs (more like hit's) the front brake caliper.... :bang: It lack's about a 1/16th to an 1/8 in of clearence. So needless to say I spent a great deal of time checking everything to see if I could make it work. The bottom line is I'm going to need a 1/4 in wheel spacer to make it work. I will be calling Mustangtuning first thing in the morning...

Here are some detail's on the wheel's:

1. The finish is flawless and they are beautifuly done.

2. The weight is 20.0 pounds exactly per wheel.

3. They are very three dimensional, and have a nice sharp crease in the center of each spoke. (like Crager's)

4. They balanced very well, requiring very little wheel wieght's.

5. 285's went on the 18x9 very well, i.e. no buldge etc...

6. The rear tires are flush with the outside edge of the fender well.

No if only I could get the front's on...I'm really staggered now! LOL

Well that's it for now, I'll give you all an update on Mustangtuning's solution...to be continued...

 

Why not grind off a little of the metal, that's a small amount of material and you won't do harm.
It's been done here before, and results are great.

 

I had to grind off the casting excess on my rear retainers to keep the wheels from contacting them.

So let's see a pic of the rears mounted up!

Sorry you are having difficulty. Send the whole set down my way and I'll get them fixed up for you. Shouldn't take me more than 2 years or so.

yeah lets see the rears !!!! C'mon!!

 

Hopefully it's an easy fix. I would've thought that this would be addressed before they started shipping to customers.

 

Good lord will somebody post PICTURES already???

 

just give us a hiney shot of the car that is.

 

Surrrre of the car. :nono:

 

All system's go!!! I picked up a pair of 5/16 th in. spacer's and they worked perfect. The front tire is almost flush with the fender well, but do not stick out more than the rear. She hook's up now!!

 

A few more...I'm heading to the track.

 

:worship:

Did they say if all fronts would require a spacer?

 

Sweet.

 

The wheels look nice. What's with the GT 500, Shelby, and Cobra badging though? :scratch:

 

They are working on it...

I've had my car like this since Nov 04, 3-4 month's BEFORE Ford's Cobra release...I'm just building her up after a 68 Shelby, she's more go than show.

 

Cool. At 312 rwhp NA, I'd say so.

 

Looks like a scene from Madmax out there in the desert

 

That is sick! Not a fan of the deep dish, but the rest of the rest is amazing. Your car just keeps getting better and better, Justin.
(no plans for springs?)

 

Man, what a car

These deep dishes are going to be a hit, now if only they allowed you to purchase half a set :scratch:
