So what is the point of your thread? Are you trying to remove as much stuff as possible? Are you trying to lower your power to weight ratio so the you can race your car? Removing your air bag might lower weight- yet someday you might wish you still had one-for a fraction of a second. Removing A/C also reduces weight. I would rather be comfortable.....

Assuming OEM brake calipers, downgrade to 15" rims.
Gut the entire interior except the driver's seat.

Also check out the worlds fastest all motor maxima for more inspiration;

15x10 seems to be very wide. Are you keeping the engine NA, or are you going boost, SC or turbo? For NA, 15x6 or 7 should be fine.

How about some 95-96 Mazda Millenia rims and put spare tire donuts on the rear wheels? Way cheaper. Keep in mind with donuts on the back you want to make sure to keep the car going straight ahead

Remove the doors and trunk, cut the roof off, fill the tires with helium, drain the coolant, replace the gas tank with a 1 gallon fuel cell and fill it a cup at a time, remove the front and rear windshields, turn your rotors on a lathe to the minimun thickness, lighten the floor by drilling holes in it. After all of that you should be down at least 100lbs or so.

I understand why you would go wider, but keep this in mind:

The link you showed of the mustang 15" rims are for a mustang, a RWD car.

NWP managed to make the world's fastest all motor maxima by putting in a tuned VQ35DE that puts 300whp to the ground, lightened his 3rd gen body to 2600 lbs, and used 15x8 rims with gigantic 558mm slicks. There was more to it than that of course, but you get the idea.

NWP did it with a built 3.5, and you are trying to do it with a 3.5 eventually......at 300 whp?
