New Wheels and drop on my Stang

I installed my Sprint springs , and my new Saleen Chrome wheels. I have 18X10.5 in the rear. The fronts are 18X9. I am running 275/35 in the rear. In the front I put 245/40 . I plan on upgrading to a 295/35 in the rear soon. The car dropped 2 full inches in the front and 1.8 in the front.

I will be doing the tinted tails soon.


I will consider a splitter, after my Saleen bumper is on. I'm sure I will low enough to destroy it though....

Wheels alone are 900 bucks or so. I don't want Cobra lights , because I don't want to pass my car as a Kewbra.....

If I go any lower in the rear, my tires will rub . It's a 10.5 wide wheel. It dropped 18 or so in the rear.

Love the rims! I'd take a hard look at them if I were to replace my stock GTs.

Once all the "show" mods are done, I will decide between a Paxton Novi, and a Vortech S trim....

You're insane. My K member is scrapping over every speed bump I go over, no matter how slow I go. I'm actually .4 inches lower than a stock Saleen.

how about a saleen body kit if your goin for the saleen look...my friend has one...it looks so hot...his looks exactly like a saleen...only thing that you can tell is that theres no blower when you pop the hood...just a fairly stock GT engine

i like how yours looks...you didnt go crazy with it or anything but its just right
