how are the offsets compaired to the GT500s? GT500 wheels seem to sit perfectly.

 

THanks dude, you have had several sets of the wheels now lol

I think they are close to the same. I would have went with those if I hadnt traded my stockers. I like the GT500's with these tires as they are better than the stock boss tires, plus the 265 compared to 255 front looks like it fits better. I also like how the 20 rear makes the huge rear fender gap look a little better.

Thanks, I really like the 20 rear!

I was thinking the same thing, if I keep them for a while maybe I will have them powder coated black.

You have the FR 19's right? Does the 285 looked streched on that 10 inch rear wheel? I like the way the 285 fits on the stock boss and Gt500 9.5 rears, not streched at all.

 

Yes. They are the same size wheels that come on the LS and do not look stretched. A 10" wide wheel is a more natural fit for the 285. Check the manufacturers spces on fitment for 285's.

 

I saw your car at Cars & Coffee (last photo), but I didn't see anyone around who looked like the owner. The chairs behind the car were vacant and nobody was really standing nearby. Anyway, sorry to have missed you, but your car looks great!

I do think these wheels look better than stock, but I don't dislike the stock wheels enough to change them, especially since I want to invest in track wheels.

Oh, where did you get the shorty antenna? I will probably need one of those when my wing goes on.

I'm sure I will see you around. Cheers,

Jimmy

 

How much did you pay for the clear bra and where can you get it?

 

This was from a shop in the Austin area, and was around 600. Entire front bumper, hood a little past the stripe, fenders, headlights and side mirrors. It can be more depending on film used and what you want covered.

 

The sizes are the primary reason I haven't already swapped to them. I am also a fan of the staggered sizes.
And visually, I agree 100% with you. I really like what you've done to yours, and would probably do almost exactly the same thing; just the RTR spoiler and skirts, maybe paint the hood to extend the black area out to cover more of the hood, and I also want to do the smoke reflectors, front and back. And then of course I'd want to get the wheels powder coated black.
That's all just an idea though, until the money tree starts blossoming.

 

Looks nice, what percent tint do you have

 

I'm not sure but the SVT wheels look right. I think they might be slightly different from the stock wheels or it's just that they are 1/2" wider. I have my stock wheels on right now in preparation for an upcoming track day. I'm going to take photos to see if I can determine if the SVT wheels stick out more or less than the stock Boss wheels.

 

That would be cool, get started!

5% if I recall correct


I cant find the offsets any where for these wheels. I think the front fills out and sits more flush than the stockers (not sure if the 265 compared to 255 fronts matters. Also think the good years may run a tiny bit wider than the stock pirellis?

 

perfect factory plus look!

 

Stopped in at Brandon Ford they have an RTR on the lot.

Looked at the splitter and it's only a cosmetic piece.

The "turn buckles" are only attached to the lower fascia plastic.

You can move the piece up and down a couple of inches with just your thumb and index finger....................

 

Those wheels look fantastic with the center caps! I have been considering these for my Kona Blue Boss and may pull the trigger now

 

Thanks, cant wait to see how it looks lowered. These wheels will look great on the blue/black

 

lollll
