*pops popcorn* Hey, to each his own, right? We're all car lovers here. Proper spelling or not. Rims and tire offsets pushing the limits, or not. I don't really have a comment on the look of that tire because I just don't know it well enough to judge. I myself was curious about running a 10.5 inch or 11 inch rim. With the widest rubber possible. The car is not lowered. I've seen American muscles MMD mustang on 305's maybe? The point of me doing this? I'm a stupid young kid that will probably wreck a fender or two doing this, but hey, we all gotta learn! It looks good if done properly. And I'm here to LEARN. Teach me boys!

I'm running Forgestar F14 20x9 35mm offset 275/35/20 and 20x11 with a 53 mm offset and nitto invo 315/35/20 in the rear with FRPP K springs. They sit about flush with the fender and the tires only rub when my panhard bar comes out of alignment and I hit a large bump in the road. Otherwise, no rubbing. When I get back to the states, I'll be changing the tires out to 265/35/20 305/30/20 Michelin Super Sport tires because I want to have tires that are 27" vice the 28" I have now.

I think your wheels look awesome. I think other people are put off because they think your wheel is pushed out too far out, but it looks flush to me. It could be the tire is too big for the rim making it buldge too much. I used to have 305s on my old mach 1 with 10" wide rims and they did the samething. Anyway, love the look of your wheels.

Thanks sir! Yeah the tire sticks out possibly at most 1/8" to 1/4" at most. And I planned it that way. Personal preference.... It shows I mean "business" with some nostalgic old school muscle with a contemporary flair ... But alas to each his own.

Does this count for a pic??? I was busy cleaning yesterday... 5 spokes are soooooooo easy to clean. Love it. A week of driving her, and I really love these wheels, tires, and my whole setup.

Np guys. Shiaz, I've had my brush for about 5 years now. It's my favorite detailing tool. Use it for calipers, lugs, emblems, valve stems, etc etc. be creative. Spray with amazing roll off first.

I wish I had thousands to spend on wheels. Then, I would get my wheels and upgraded brake kit. (Gotta have the cross drilled/slotted rotors when getting new wheels. Just my opinion.) Wheels about 5k and the brake upgrade, front/rear, about 5k,......or more.
lol

I think your Roush wheels look great. I dont know if I would change them. Wont the Brembos fit your wheels? If not check Wilwood they have a narrow 6 piston caliper, supposed to fit behind most wheels 18 inches an larger.
