did 20's affect the performance of your cars. did you notice anything in acceleration or torque loss, and hwo bout the ride. I love th 20in shelbys but dont want to sacrifice perf

 

x2 would like to know also

 

Phorty...did you notice a big difference in handling or ride quality going from stock to rear roush springs only?

And then did you notice a big difference by adding the Roush fronts?

 

I can't really tell if I lost performance or not. I put a S/C on my car before I have even had my first oil change. 20's help with cornering since you are riding on more rim than rubber and the look is fantastic and I'm not really a track guy so I am content.

 

20 inch rims mean more unsprung weight, and they're more than likely very heavy. They're bad for perfomance plain and simple. Will you be able to tell? Probably not at stock power levels. When I made the downsize the ride got so much better.

 

I've been waiting forever to see what these look like. I'm very pleased! Well done!
When I was running 20's, I noticed braking was much worse during regular driving. Accelation wasn't noticeably affected but I would imagine you could tell on the track. The ride was definitely harsher and could use tighter shocks to handle the lower sidewall.
I noticed a bit with the rear only but not much. It was slighly harsher. The fronts make a bigger difference- not quite as smooth. I really wouldn't recommend doing the rears only- you'd be better off cutting a 1/2 coil of the stockers IMO.
Right on! I agree completely. As I said before, it isn't too noticeable except for the harsher ride and crappy braking.

 

Well, I finally decided to get the 18" FRPP Black Bullitts. I did a decent amount of searching and couldn't find anybody who was running these on a Satin Silver Anyways, here a crappy pic of them (didn't feel like to staying out any longer in the 20 degree weather). I'm happy with the way it came out, but might add a Ford Racing black rocker stripe.

 

Looks good to me, it's a nice combo!

 

Just purchased a set of Shelby CS69 (18 X 9.5) wheels from 05stangkc and a set of 255/45ZR18 Nitto NTRD1 tires from Discount Tire Direct. Everything went smoothly with the purchase except DHL Indirect decided I only needed 3 wheels. DHL took about a week to finally get them out of the warehouse where it was being held hostage and shipped to me. Hopefully next week I shall have time to get them installed.

 

Can't wait to see those Shelby wheels installed. I am looking at the CS68 I think they are.

 

Very nice, can't tell from the picture but are those chrome?

 

I found mine on ebay. 19x9 19x10 staeggered, 245/45/19 and 275/40/19 . 19" feels like it sits up a bit, and rides very nice.

 

Just got my two back 18X10 deep dish black bullitts.....dropped a lugs and tribar on it
to see how its gonna look. Now to save for the front wheels. ha haaa

 

No, they are the hyper black/silver.

 

Finally have wheels and tires installed on car.

 

Foose Nitrous 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10.00 rears.I got them in 2005 in Huntington Beach, CA ,with a Chip Foose signature on the dash.

 

Hey Roush, you car looks familiar... but it's missing something.

 

Hey, your car's got a nice look going on.

 

FR500 replicas. 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. 255/45/18 front and 295/45/18 rear.

 

Darkfire, I want you to take pics of my car. I can never get the pinks and oranges out of TR when I take pics. That stance is great, I love the meats.
