Put on my new wheels/tires, SVEs and Michelin PSS 275/40. I feel like I should have not gotten black wheels, doesn't really look good with dark blue.

 

^^^^ It doesn't look bad. I think it makes the blue more pronounced.

 

I'm very impressed as I didn't think 275/40's would clear the wheel wells, especially in the front.. I run 275/35/20 Nitto NT555 G2's that barely clear the wheel wells up front.. In the meantime, congrats on your SVE wheels which IMO look really good in black with Deep Impact Blue and also congrats on your Michelin PSS as well

Thanks, I think black wheels look better with lighter colors, unless you are going for an all black out look.

Thanks, I guess it depends how low you are lowered too. I got them because I see a lot of people have 275/40s on their SVEs with no problem. Really like the ride on the PSS, feels more comfortable and absorbs bumps a lot better, haven't got a chance to really push them yet.

 

I run 285/40/18s on my 18x9.5 SVT wheels, no issues whatsoever.

I've even run 305/40/18 Nitto 555R drag radials on the front, on the same wheels but with a small 1/4" spacer, and still no issues, even during the autocross sessions I did with them on.
Yes, drag radials on the front:

 

That looks dynamite bro! I like it.

 

Nice 07 grabber orange.. However you posted in the wrong sub forum section, as your images belong in the 2005-09 sub forums.. At any rate, just a heads up for future reference

 

I noticed you have Steeda sport springs which lower the front by approx 1 inch.. Therefore your right, as it does depend on how much the car is lowered.. As my car has Eibach pro kit springs that lower the front by approx 1.2 - 1.3 inches, so there could very well be just enough of a height difference to cause clearance issues if I were running 275/40/20's up front

 

Right... I guess I'm kicked out the cool car club. I posted before I had my morning coffee. Mods delete this .

 

The offset on the SVE's make the wheels stick out more too, they sit just flush with the fenders. Speaking of that, my rear is sticking out a few millimeters more on the passenger side. I have an adjustable panhard bar, but the bolts are like rusted and I couldn't even move them at all.

 

I know exactly what it feels like when it comes to needing that morning coffee, that's for sure

Do you happen to know what your offset is ? As for not being able to break loose your panhard bolts, try soaking them with either penetrating oil or WD-40 and let sit for at least a few hours.. Hopefully that should help in dissolving the rust..

 

 

Thanks, I'm going to try to adjust it this weekend. The offset is +35mm for the SVEs.

 

Very nice and clean

 

Looks great Scott!

 

 

Scott, your 2010 GT is really awesome

So I also assume they're 20x10" in diameter ?

 

The SVEs are 19x19.5, they only come in 18s and 19s. I have seen people fit 20x10s here in the front though. I couldn't do 20s though, it would be unbearable to drive around here. I like the bigger sidewall with the 275s, the ride is a little more comfortable and smoother over bumps with the bigger sidewall than the stock 255.

I think my next cosmetic mod will be a new chin spoiler, thinking of going with the Boss/GTCS lip.

 

I did a test fit today.... I think Marilyn likes her new stable. So much more room. She likey. Next week, it will be permanent.







i also picked up her Welcoming gift from my buddy. This will go right above her parking spot.
