You dog!! Congrats and they are going to look great. Did you work on the price, or was he pretty firm?

I will have to measure to see about the PHB....I should be ok though. When I lowered my Car the rear wheels were only off center by 1/4". The offset was not all that perfect stock to begin with! I will have pics tomorrow!

Got the 2012 Forged 19" GT500 Wheels Installed.....
I have a feeling I will end up switching out the springs for a tad more drop......
It was fine with the stock tires, but these tires are about 1/2" shorter, so there seems to be a little more fender gap.

Front: 28.25"

Awesome.......I really like the idea of keeping stock Ford wheels instead of aftermarkets, and those look great on your car - the reason why I powdercoated an extra set for mine. I think these are the best looking wheels Ford has made so far. Got my originals for sale if anyone wants them (immaculate with 1800 miles on them). Have you thought about blacking out your badges???

Got My California Special Front Valance On today.....
While I was at it I made some custom Foglight delete screens and sprayed them with PlastiDip, looks great and allows fresh air to flow right into the Airbox!!
GT500 Wing on its way too!!
