Black Track Pack Wheel question

Does anyone have some pics of the FRPP Black Track Pack wheels installed on their (dark colored) 5.0? And what would be the largest size tires you could run on them... 275's? Thanks in advanced for your help!

I would do 275 35 19's all the way around so you could rotate them. 285 on a 9" rim is pushing it and lowered in the front you may rub . . .

275s up front on my V6 rubbed on full turn. They are now on my GT and do not rub, but they could have been worn down enough from the V6. I'm just not sure.

If these are the same, then yes you can run 275's all around.

I see you are running the Nitto's 275 all the way around. How do you rate the grip compared to the stock rubber?

On dry they are awesome. Cornering is great, I can take the on/off ramps quickly without worrying. There's a little bit of road noise but I hardly hear it with the Roush exhaust. Wet conditions, not so much. But my stockers were the 18" Pirelli's so they're going to be better in wet conditions anyways.

Steeda Ultra Lite's are a 1.5 inch drop? I would say you will definitely be risking rubbing if that's the case. I read that Shaun (Stinger1982) had to roll his front fenders because he had rubbing with his RTR's which too had 275's on the front and back. His car is lowered with FRPP K springs which is also a 1.5 inch drop.

Hatch... Yes, those are the exact wheels.

Still not sure about wheels, but I'll have to make a decision soon
