Pics of the rear installed. I already have the fronts installed just haven't taken pictures yet.

These were taken with the cell phone so sorry if the pics are crap.











Specs:
Rims Mustang Cobra R's
F 18x9.5 +24 245/45 Nito NT555 (installed from stock rims)
R 18x10 +22 265/40 Continental Extreme Contact DW (nothing but good things to say about this tire)

I need some spacers for the front. Taking a sharp turn with some braking makes them rub on the inside. I think 5mm or better yet 10mm will work fine.

I have some 20mm's spacers to go all around but I am still deciding if I should sell them and get smaller spacers or just install the 20mm. Also thinking about the rear spring mount mod and cutting it about 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch and finally getting a chance to install the front springs but if I install the front springs I will definitely need different tires for the fronts and spacers.

Good thing about the rims is that they were TPMS friendly

Let me know what you guys think.

PS: forgot to mention the touring rims are up for sale. will post a FS thread after next week sometime.

haha i knew it.............i definitely agree but like i said its the rims i can work with for right now and i like em and honestly in person they look a lot better, but that is my opinion. i don't have the money for Volks/Works/SSR/BBS blah blah blah but oh well ya know

also, they are decently flush.....they are not hellaflush by any means but they worked out really nice. i was skeptic at first but they are ok for right now.

your front end looks like a snow plow. nice choice on some of the best looking budget wheels on the market bar none. much much better than those mustang wheels.
