Looks great! One of my favorite styles for these cars.
I may have missed, but what width are they and what tires & size ya running?

 

Agreed. The Pony caps are on order.

 

The rims are 18x9. For now we're running the stock tires. I'd actually like to go with a slightly wider tire but I couldn't see dumping nearly new tires for a minimal increase in size. Eventually, when these wear out, we'll step up a size.

 

Hello all, here's my 05 with 18x9 and 18x10 Konig Stampedes Race Grey w/Stainless lip (40mm offset). Tires are Falken FK452's, 275/40-18 rears and 255/45-18 fronts. Car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines

Sorry, i'm not good with the camera. I feel the wheels look a lot better in person than they do in these pics.

 

heres mine.18" konig unknows on falkin 255/45/18s

 

isaax, i like those rims. i actually thought about getting them. to me they are kind of similar to the ct-rs. in the end though, i went with the ct-r.

 

I dont understand tho why people are putting smaller diameter tires in the rear. I mean its not much, but it is still smaller. Why not 285/40's vs 275. Just my personal opinion.

 

I know what you mean. The reason being is that the Falken FK452's dont come in 285/40-18's. It's what I originally wanted. I was going to go with Nitto 555's but my past experiences prevented me from doing so. I also thought about BFG KDW's but I wasn't much into the tread pattern on those. I've always had good results with FK452's so I went with it. I like it's performance and looks. A quick adjustment using the Predator fixed my speedo with the slightly narrower rear tire.

 

Thanks for the compliment! I was a bit nervous buying them since I've scoured the net trying to find another stang with these wheels but only found one and it had 20's. Good choice on the CT-R's!

yeah, the only time i saw the stampedes were in an ad, and i don't think those weren't even mounted.

 

Looks awesome!! Props to you

 

Here are mine having 2nd thoughts on them now that there on the car.

 

Same thoughts here. In that situation I would have just gone with the 255/45's on all 4 or 275/40's on all four. I wouldn't be able to live with a bigger tire up front. Even if most people wouldn't notice, it would be the first thing I see and it would drive me crazy.

 

Those do look phenominal! Haven't seen them before. Any idea what they weigh?

 

Those SHELBY Redlines look nice. Do you have any other pics ?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Does anyone have pics of a S197 with Steeda Ultra-Lite 1 Wheels?

 

Well, I know I went that route because I wanted there to be a better balance of rubber width front to rear, yet I didnt want to go 275/40 all around. The tires I ended up ordering (GS-D3s) had a total difference of .2 inches front to rear in diameter IIRC, which is pretty small. Plus, the tire selection with 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 is pretty bad, especially if you don't want to pay top dollar.

 

This picture is a few months old but I still have these rims (for now anyway). If you haven't guessed they are FRPP painted black bullitts 17X8 front and rear (stock size). I have a question for you guys though. For those who've switched to the 18X9's with 245' or 255's, were they a direct bolt on? I read something about steering stops were needed but dont know for what size wheels.
Thanks

 

TehSLeeper - are those anthracite? If so where did you get them? BTW, looks good!
