I like that look. A LOT.
When I get some staggered fatty Signature Wheels for this car LONG down the road, I'm going to get them flush with the body.
I like that look as well Gabe. Looks better.

I am pretty sure it does have spacers Gabe, as I have the identical car/wheels and tires and mine sit inside more than those.

Mine do as well. I wish they were flush with the body more like the photo you posted.
That looks much, much better!

I think yours looks good Tony. I like my stock wheels but the offset causes that tucked in look. I have asked my ford racing mechanic about spacers, as I have zero knowledge about them. I have always replaced my stock wheels with more aggressive rims with better offsets, but i really do like these wheels and tires and I am loathe to remove them and simply put them away. He said many guys do 3/8 in the rear and 3/4 in front allowing the use of the existing studs, coupled with 1" drop springs. For now, I'm gonna stick with what i have.

Believe it or not, my wheels sit like yours. They next to be pushed out, so they sit flush with the edge of the body of the car.
My car has the Roush stage 1 coilover suspension and it is awesome. Taking off/on ramps is a breeze with almost zero body roll. lol

Summer tires are not meant to be driven on when below 40-45 degrees.
If you take her out, be careful with the throttle

If I didn't have to pay for these stupid trees to be taken down, I would order my exhaust and another goodie for the beast this weekend.
But,...gotta be "responsible". lol


*****SO!!!,..............I have a confession about the exhaust that I am getting.
I was originally going with the Corsa Extreme catback with x-pipe. THEN, I heard the SW catback with x-pipe and changed my mind. But last Friday and Saturday, I did a lot of studying and research and listening to "real time" sounds of both and I went back to the Corsa Extreme with x-pipe. I want that rasp/hollow exhaust sound. Don't like the deep, bass sounding exhaust. Not my style. The Sw has a raspy/hollow sound as well, but the Corsa is a little more aggressive.
