I'm scared of the 24 mm offset but isn't 40 mm too much? I would only run 255's and it would seem 40 mm would be too far under the fender.

Will 1/16th of an inch make that much difference? I'm asking because I don't know.

There's 25 mm in an inch. So the difference between 40 mm and 24 mm is two-thirds of an inch. It makes a difference and gives you more options.

What tires?


I went with Dunlop Sport 8000's in 265/35/20 on all 4. +24 offset...I think it's perfect. Don't fear the offset! I am actually considering Eibach sportlines for the rear, or a slightly taller tire. I wanted them all the same so I could rotate.

I like the +24mm with a 265 on the front, but I want wider on the rear.

The problem with going wider is matching the diameter...You can match it really nicely with a 305/30/20, but I'm not sure that will fit...

Just get the new bands from Napa and use your old sensors. I think the bands were 10 bucks each. I think Discount Tire sells the bands also.

Alright! It's about time.

I wonder if they're a little flatter than the 25 mm offset like someone suggested earlier. I still haven't seen these on a car yet:

Yeah, I think I need to see some 40mm razors on a stang (preferably 18x9s) before I pull the trigger.

Same, I had bright Silver "Shelby" Razors on backorder for quite some time but could not get consistant answer if and when they where going to be available so I cancelled them for now. Looking at other options now and would love to get my hands on the new KR wheels if they actually had a 20" option after they come out. Factory 18" would look something like this:



With it lowered it would look even better.

Is that your plate in the front window? If so, do you get stopped?

Yes that's where I keep my front plate, the law says "plate must be displayed on the front of the vehicle" so, it's legal! At least I think it is, I've never been stopped in this car.

In case you missed it. An owner with gun metal grey razors that is losing the finish on his wheels.

I bought mine from Discount Tires, they gave me one year to pay without interest. Paid $1,600.00 total with Toyo Proxes. Had them since Sept 06 without any paint problems. I had a cracked center cap replaced, at no charge when I took them to get them rotated. The price included road hazard insurance and rotation for life of the tires.
