Here's my car in 5 different colors. I rolled it out of the garage to clean all the dust off, and fill the cooling system.

Nice wheels, what rims are those and what are the specs if you don't mind me asking?? Congrats on getting the car back on the road.

They're Mustang FR500 replicas. Got them for like $450 shipped.
18x9+20, 18x10+40. The rears are also available in 18x10+22 I believe. The fronts are pretty hellaflush, but the rears tuck nicely.
I'd honestly say that you could fit the +22 offset with mild camber and no fender rolling. I think this, because I had one on my car, because they originally sent me one with the mismatched offset.

Fitted my rear 5mm spacers. The fronts were so aggressive, that I really needed just a touch of Umph for the rear to match them. Looks better now.

Yeah, just a slight touch of stretch.
And not because I love the look, just already had these tires.
FR500 replica's, 235/40/18 front, 265/35/18 rear.

Just finished reading the whole thread... I've given up on shorter books. It took me 4 days, but it was well worth it! Awesome build

So, this just came in today.

There was some talk about louvers on Facebook, and it got me a bit nostalgic, so I bought one.
As you can see, this is the ABS louver, not the aluminum unit. I didn't like the angularity of the metal ones, so I opted for this.
Plus, I couldn't FIND aluminum ones new, so...

Again, it was an impulse purchase, so I'm not sure if I'll put this on right away, or save it till I get the urge. But at least I have it now.
