Well, the rain stopped and I finally got a chance to give her a quick wash. Here she is with her new wheels, tires, and tint:
Details:
Tint: 35% front, 15% rear
Wheels: Carroll Shelby CS69 Special Editions 20x9 and 20x10
Tires: Nitto Invo 255/35/20 and 295/35/20
Here are a couple of before pics:

And here are the after shots:


Sorry for posting so many pics but I really love the car and wanted to share it with you.
NOTE: I know most of you will say it needs a drop and I don’t disagree. However, it rides well and my commute is a bumpy one so I doubt I’ll be dropping soon.

Thanks for looking…

 

The wheels aren't my style, but that looks very good.

 

Great car, rims are nice touch.

 

Pretty much killer look!!

 

Car looks great.

BTW, does anyone have 56K anymore? At this point, I would think the interwebz on a dial-up would be more annoying than useful.

 

There are some places out in the sticks where high speed is still not available.

 

wheels look good..Never saw those before but I like them. Nice looking car!!

 

Superb wheels, great choice! The CS69 suits the 10+ down to the ground (if you'll pardon the pun!)

 

You and I have the same car except for the body kit and hood I added. I like your rims and tires so much so I've moved that set-up to the top of a very short list.

How does the car handle with these wheels and tires?

Where did you get them and did you buy them as a set?

With offsets you usually have a 40 in front and 35 in rear etc, to keep the tires close to the same height, was this an issue?

Thanks

I'm not lowering my car either. My front mask sits low and has already been damaged by the shipper moving it off a trailer and I'm afraid I might have problems with driveways and speed bumps as it is. the rest of the suspension will get upgraded.

 

Nice!!!

 

Looks good!

 

Big Poppa:

The car handles great with the new wheels/tires. The Invos are much stickier and handle better at speed than the Pirellis. These wheels are larger and heavier than the stock wheels but it isn't noticeable at all from behind the wheel and there is no detectable performance degradation.

Offsets are +30 front and +45 rear but I think you were talking about aspect ratio of the tires in your post. These tires are slightly taller than the stock set-up. They throw my speedo off by about 2.5mph but I like the fact that the taller tires fill the gap better.

I bought the set slightly used from a member here (thanks 96lasersnake!) for a great price. he got them from www.rttire.com

These are the Special Edition CS69s (chrome and gloss black) and I don't see them on their site anymore though.

Thanks to you and everyone else for the positive feedback!

 

I've heard nothing but good things about the Invos. A bunch of 350 and 370 guys have run them and, having followed their cars down the Cherohala Skyway in NC I can attest to how sticky they are. They kick up gravel like mad!

 

yeah, the Invos have won me over. I will defintiely be getting another set when these wear out. The car just handles so much better now with the lower profile and stickier tires. Love it!

 

Its amazing how much they enhance the look of the car!!!

 

these all look kinda like mach1 wheels...just not as good

 

Wow, that looks hawt!

 

nice rides! Is anyone running 56k anymore?

 

Here in Texas there are several small communities around San Antonio that don't have access to high speed internet. I guess I am showing my age with all of this talk of 56K...:-)
