I dont have any rub marks at all from rubbing.. lower your car more. lol

They used to rub before I lowered it, now they dont touch at all.

I have the ford racing springs on there so it has been lowered I would go lower but the exhaust already scrubs in alot of parking lots I try to pull into. I caught hell pulling into alot of parking lots when I had to drop into houston for a bit to visit sm1 in the hospital.

Tuck your exhaust up more.. im a lot lower than you if you have c springs and my exhaust doesnt scrape at all unless I go over a speedbump. my chin spoiler will hit before my exhaust.

That looks retarded. Way to much tire for the body lines.

What's retarded is doing the same thing everyone else does. Oh hey, I got a mustang, let's put some Bullitts on it with 315s, that will be super cool. I decided to step outside the box, and go with a wheel/tire setup that no one else has. You're the first person to ever tell me my car looks retarded, but to each his own!



I personally think it has a killer stance, and watching it roll down the road it looks unreal.

True Forded/CCWs are nothing new to mustangs dude..

And you can be original and not put a tire size that is way beyond what looks good on the body. Its not a Viper dude.. the fenders dont poke out that far lol. I can see the point if your actually using all that tire on a road course or something..but for looks no way.
