I can't get over how nasty that looks. You killed it sir.
Love that stance, wheel and tire set up. What tires are you running there? Look like Nitto Invos?

I'm a big fan of downforce wheels - there is no need to pay more for Mustang wheels IMO. Your square setup looks awesome. And with a 10in downforce wheel, 295s INVOs are perfect on the rear to avoid poking out like a boy racer. I wish they'd had 295 INVOs in stock when I bought my wheels. Great job!

Rims are Rohana RC10, 19x9.5 rear and 19.8.5 up front. Waiting for the 275/40's for the rear to get here tomorrow, hope to get them mounted by the end of the week.

My HRE wheels are 20x9.5 offset 35 and 20x10.5 offset 45. My current tires are Nitto 555 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. I am lowered on Eibach Prokit, which is not very lowered at all.

I am thinking of replacing the tires with MT 275/35/20 and 305/35/20. Will this rub with my current wheel, with my offset and the lowering spring? I find the Nittos are little bit on the narrow side for my wheels.

Another set of tires I am looking at are the Michelin PSS in 275/35/20 and 295/30/20, if the 305 MT tires are too wide.

Fronts you'll be fine, rears you'll most likely be fine. I have 305/30s waiting to go on my 20x10.5 +40 rears. Just waiting on my wheels to be done at the powder coaters.

I'm fickle and always changing my mind about wheels. I almost pulled the trigger last month on a set of GT500 wheels like what DarrenGT had before his Mambas and I strongly considered SVE Series 3 until I realized what a cleaning nightmare there'd be with either of those.

These aren't mine yet, but Niche Misano's or Targa's are now being considered. I'm waiting until next year for rubber and want to run a square 275/40/19 set up. Currently these are on the short list...19 X 9.5 in Anthracite. I like them both....until I change my mind again.

Meh everyone has Niches, myself included. Do something different! I'm going to be selling mine soon, when I get my new wheels on and have that back one repaired. I'll see how the new ones turn out before I decide to sell. I may end up keeping them but having them refinished a different color.

Check out a Concept One wheels. They have a twin 5-spoke that comes in silver with a polished lip - right up your alley!

You could do the 19x9 +30 all around or 19x10.5 +40 all around.

I like the Niche Targa's myself. I think the color you picked would look killer on your car Tom.

No rubbing will depend on the offset. I think 40+ you'll be ok, esp with the Eibach.

lol... Not sure about "everybody", but there's quite a few out there, but for good reason. They're high quality, look good, and are fairly reasonable in price. Hence why they're purchased. It all depends on what MIR's the individual wants or needs.

[QUOTE=FromZto5;6769118]Ok… it's about time I posted for real, and contributed to this thread Finished my install yesterday, test drove today, no issues. Love the new setup. Niche Milans, 20x8.5 front with a 35mm offset wearing 255s nitto nt555, 20x10 rear with a 40mm offset wearing 305 nitto nt555r drag radials. Thanks to those who helped me select the right wheel, setup, etc etc.




Above is Burton's car with 20x10 40 offset wheel with 305/35/20 tires. My rear wheels are 20x10.5 45 offset. If I install a 305/30/20 tires, will it stick out this much? How about a 295/30/20 tire?

It depends on the backs pacing too, but most likely, your wheels will be just about even with that. You'll have the extra 0.5" of width, but the offset is 5mm less, which is about 1/5" so to the naked eye, you could call that difference a wash...

I agree with Patrick. Close to a wash.

Wow, you found a really old pic of my car. LOL.

Well, thanks largely in part to Burton's pics, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a set of the Niche Milans tomorrow. Going to buy them from Hypermotive. Going staggered 20's. This will be my first staggered set of wheels. Since I'm getting ultra high performance all-season tires due to this being a year-round daily driver, I should at least be able to rotate them side to side at least.

John, I'm innocent of said accusations

Congrats man! I love my niches. What finish for the wheel? As for the staggered, it's the only way to go. Btw, since you're in NC, why not go with a more aggressive tire? Don't they have some that are good in rain but still really good on dry?

I'm going with the black machined finish. As far as the tires, I've had a set of the stock track package Pirelli Pzeros and currently a set of Pilot Super Sports and both tires break loose way too easily for my tastes once the temps get down around 50 degrees or so. Currently I have a 40 mile round trip commute for a job I just started last week and I drive on a road that's rather hilly and curvy so I'd rather not push my luck. I'm looking into moving closer to work but not sure how soon that'll happen.
