Whats your are your wheel offsets?
The front 18x9's are a +36 mm and the rear 18x10's are +45 mm. My tires in the rear are 305/40 Nitto drag radials... I wanted them as beefy as I could without bending the tire on the wheel. I have even tread wear from the burnouts.

Looks good! I went with Steeda Pentars and the same size tires. I love the "4 corner steamroller" look, and the handling rocks. Good luck.

Nice wheels everyone! It's really hard to pick a wheel that doesn't look good on our Stangs.

FRPP GT 500 wheels in black

These were my second choice, I really had my heart set on the CTR's in black ,but after waiting for 3 months and they're still out of stock I decided to go with these and I'm glad that I did. They look great and I get a lot of compliments too. I've had a few tell me its almost has that road racer look to it. My next mods would be the suspension and the GT500 brake kit. Sorry about the pics, took them with my cell phone,forgot the real camera at home.

Recently added the 20 inch Saleen Wheels to my '06 GT, 20x9 275/35 front and 20x10 275/40 rear, I love my 18" Fanblades but I got the kind of deal on these Saleens that you can't pass up.

I have to say, this wheel was very well engineered for the car, with stock springs they seem to fit the corners perfectly and the design looks right at home on the Mustang, like a seven spoke version of the Fanblades.

I think you could use some better pics of those wheels. Its a shame I can barely see them.

jaegerbros, those wheels are friggin HUGE!! The look pretty sweet too. One question though, why did you leave in the photoshop of a blackout panel?

Huh. I'll be damned. I guess it was because it has the honeycomb pattern, but you can tell from the pic that its flat. I thought it was a photoshop of the SHR piece. Sorry

Weld Racing Forged Evos

Well, this is my second mustang and both cars had ROH Drift R's so I was getting a little bored with it and needed something different. By the way I've got two sets of wheels w/tires for sale if anyone's interested. See Sig at bottom for link to sale.

As for the new shoes. I've been debating going with 20's for a long time, ever since my first 05. If you do the right setup with wheel and tire size it looks amazing, go with the wrong sizes and it looks silly. Anyway, after a long and exhaustive search I found the setup that works for me. Here are the specs:

Weld Racing Forged Evos, Chrome:
Fronts: 20x9 with a 255/35 Nitto Invo tire
Rears: 20x10.5 with a 295/35 Notto Invo tire
