I know I posted some pics in my 'progress' thread, but that was when it was dirty. I took some time today (in the freezing temperature) to clean up the car and do a photoshoot. :p
For those that don't know, they are staggered 18x9/18x10 Black Chrome FR500 wheels with Nitto NT555 Extreme's. 255/45/18 on the front, and 285/40/18 on the rears. The speedometer is exact as checked with my GPS unit. I was pretty happy about that.

Damn!!! Looks great!!! Makes me want to jam as much tire under my fenders as I can on my Gen 1! What is the biggest tire that can go under a Gen 1 on 18x8 rim?

Yeah, there's about an inch and a half lip on the rears. I'm really loving the staggered look. This is the first modification to my car that's really changed the way it looks. It's really MINE now. Everything else was nice to do to it, but it still looked like every other black gen 2 LSC out there with chrome 10's on it.
 
The wheels came from www.cruizinconcepts.com BTW. They had the best prices I've found online. They've also got the plain chrome and the regular black ones too, along with all the other Stang/Cobra wheels. Got my tires from them also with free mounting/balancing. Not a bad deal.
 
do you have speacers or anything on the wheels? are they the correct bolt pattern without mods? or are they for mustang and not mark VIII? i want to do the same wheels i think, but maybe not black, unless i pick up another black gen 2. taxes will be back soon and im wheel shopping!
 
You said you were running 285s right? I am going to try and fit 295s or 305s on the back, it would look sweet.

All that rubber makes our cars look mean as FACK!!
 
That looks sick love the look of it. Is it hub swaped or did u get those in a marks pattern.
 
thats a sexy beast. ever thought of shaving the lettering on the neon tail light?

Hey Jamie, yeah, I hub-swapped. It really wasn't too big of a deal. I had one hang up with a cross-threaded axle nut that really pissed me off. I didn't realize it right away cuz I was using an impact gun.

I know Jeremi has put 315 Nitto's on the back of one, but it's gotta be super close. I believe he used 17x9 03 Cobra wheels and milled the hub surface of the wheels 4 mm to change the offset from 26 mm to 30 mm.
