So I finally bit the bullet and bought the wheels I wanted. I got the Rohana RC22 in a staggered setup: 20x9 25mm Offset for the front and 20x10 40mm Offset for the rear. They will be Matte Black Finished, which I hope will look killer with my DIB Paint...

Going with 255/35 (Front) and 285/30 (Rear)...probably Nitto 555.

The Stang is getting dropped with Eibach Sportlines this week, so the stance will be pretty nice with the 20" wheels. Let me know what guys think!!

 

I think they'll look pretty sick. Are you going to be doing springs and wheel instal all at once?

 

That's the plan...Since I have the car jacked up already, I might as well...right?

 

yup! Just doing springs for now, and nothing else? I wanna see pics once you have them installed!

 

I'm not a fan of 20's but you will like the car lowered. Congrats

 

Love the choice on springs and having seen much for these wheels on mustangs yet. I can't wait to see it all together. Keep us posted!

 

Exactly!! They aren't cheap (almost $400 a pop), but I've always been a fan of the five-stars on our cars. Just feel like that's what should be on a mustang! Different strokes for different folks, right!!

Yeah brotha...only springs for now. Just dropped almost 3 large on this bad boy!! I want to get the car aligned and then see how bad my geometry is off. Then I'll make a decision of what needs to come next...does that make sense?

 

Haha that's why I've yet to pull the trigger on wheels because they'll definitely set you back some $$$. And yes, makes perfect sense. When I lowered mine and got an alignment, everything was actually almost perfect. Hopefully you have good luck!

 

Those are nice, though the price tag is a bit much for me atleast. Maybe ill change it up over the winter..... depending on what other sizes they have.

 

Looks great! As far as what "next"...you'll need an adjustable panhard bar (get BMR) to center your axle/rear end. With those 20's/285 combo, you'll definitely be off to one side.

As for your actual wheel/specs, sounds the same as mine! 40mm offset is perfect with a 20x10. 285's should tuck in just fine. Pics when done please! Congrats again.

 

Wow, can't wait to see them on the car. I think black wheels with DIB looks really good.

 

I think it looks good. Those were on my list of wheels if I ever wanted to change out my forgestars.

 

Here we go again. For the love of God, please don't just do springs. Pony up the $350 shipped for a set of Koni Oranges at least! You'll probably need at *least* camber bolts with the Sportlines too.

As to why I say don't do just springs, ask Burton. He finally got Koni Yellows last year after I harped on him for 2 years to replace his shocks and struts - he knew right away why I had been saying that. Save yourself the trouble of doing two installs, trust me.

 

Hey hey... Why am I being used as the prime example here

But yes, he's right. Lol. Suspension changed everything. Springs alone were good. I had panhard bar too, so I was centered. But now that I have full suspension, compared to just springs, it's night and day. Looking back, springs alone were jittery, jarring, and lots of wheel hop and spin. With the konis, I just hook and go. Ask Kyle (livingthestanglife) during our "cruise" this past weekend.

 

Are the Koni Oranges any good? I've read mixed reviews on them. You are right though, I would rather not have to install springs today and then shocks a few months later.

 

I definitely will buy the panhard bar. So you think the adjustable BMR is the way to go? Is that something they will adjust when I get the car aligned?

 

I will definitely post pics...the wheels are getting shipped today.

 

They are decent, definitely better than stock on a lowered car, but from Jay and many other vendors, the yellows are just better. I was just giving you low cost option...

 

Get the panhard bar now, so you have it for when you install the wheels/tires, and springs. Do it all in one pop. You will be off center, for sure. Your springs lower you 1.25 or 1.5"?

As far as adjustment, if your installer is competent, they should be the ones doing it. If not, it's very very easy. You just need wrench, and adjust the nut. You don't even need to jack the car up to get to it. Just use a plumb bob (sp?) to measure both rear fenders to tires.

 

Patrick...I heard not so good things about the oranges

The Koni Yellows are universally known as fantastic, not just in the mustang community but across the gamut. Domestics, imports, luxury, and sport cars.
