That's good to know man. I have Nitto 555r's on my rear right now, they're a bit mushy, but they are a drag radial, I imagine that has a bit to do with that. Thanks for the tip on the spacer, I'll definitely try my best to keep it from rubbing anything, I may even see if I can't roll the fender...

Upon seeing those pictures, I think my new summer tires are gonna be a set of 315/35/17's... and a 10mm spacer. Question though, how much "mush" is there on those? I like a good stiff tire for handling reasons, would a wider wheel be a necessity, or do they fit on the 9.5" pretty good? I've got...

No, you're not the only one that finds that a bit funny, although I'll admit that I hadn't noticed it... You'll have to post up in here how well those do for you. I wouldn't mind another set, but if they're no better than the Nittos I have on there now, I can't really justify spending another...

Yes, you can go with 275/40/17 on your Mk4 TT's. That's what I run all around during the summer. The 9.5" wheel up front makes for an increased turning circle, and I gotta be careful of oversteer, since I can't counter very much before the wheel rubs, but I haven't really run into any serious...

So, have you followed any of the above advice? It's not unusual at all for it to be something easily overlooked. ;) Check your fuses, may as well check all of them while you're at it, sometimes things are related that don't seem immediately important, and if that fuse is out, then... Follow...

You should be alright to pull the down pipe along with the motor (I could be wrong, never done it that way before). I know how much of a PITA it is to get that bottom inside downpipe nut off... Been so long since I've messed with a 7m much. Uh, as for the crane, good job! Seriously, I used to...

I second this. All that's done to my 1j is the BC 264 cams, a bit of head porting, and a 3" test pipe/catback. I'm running about 8psi and it outruns my 01 SS Camaro 6 speed with relative ease. I'd say I'm easily in the 300whp range here, but have no experience to *definitely* say that it's all...

16x8 +0 fits a Mk2 beautifully ;) Oh wait... I'm guessing you're talking Mk3 considering your list of cars there... Hmm, considering where Mk4 17x9.5 +50 sits front/rear, I'd have to say no for sure on the front, and maybe on the rear. Talk to some of the Socal guys, there's more than a few...

Well, expensive wheels are generally forged, rather than cast. Forged generally means lighter than cast, and the less unsprung weight you're trying to lug around, the better. Makes everyone happier, except in cases where it snows. Then a light wheel = difficult to keep traction. ;) If you'd pay...

Kasey? Recognize you from AZSC... anyway, I'm running the Mk4 17x9.5 on all four corners, +50 offset, 275/40 tire all around. The fronts look PERFECT, but they're just a tad wide and affect my turning radius. Think full size 3/4 ton truck. ;)

Can't answer your questions about huge tires out back, biggest I've done was Mk4 9.5 w/ 275/40 tires. To answer your second question though, I put the same wheel/tire up front too. If your car is too low, you'll rub a good bit (when turning sharply) on the inside, making u-turns a bit more...

If you're just using the Mustang wheels for beater wheels for now, then no worries, they're easy. The wheels you have in those pictures are gorgeous on that car though. I don't suppose you have any pics of those 315's on Mk4 tt wheels though? I was thinking about doing that, but it would cost...

Doesn't look terrible, I would cross out the 'svt' and put something more suited to the Mk3 on it though. ;) Pretty obvious that the tires are a bit stretched, so don't go parking too close to curbs... your rims won't like that.

Is that what they are? Thought they looked kinda familiar. And I kinda assumed they were centerlocks... shame. You're right though, I don't have that kind of time on my hands to convert my car, nor that much drive, all things considered. Would be kinda cool for a track toy though...
