Default Got a nice visit from the FedEx guy today...
I was visited by my good friend the FedEx driver today. He's really a good guy. Every time he shows up, he brings me something cool!




I finally broke down and opened up the wallet to get some new rims and tires. I went with some 18x9.5 Steeda Pentar wheels with Nitto NT555 275/40 rubber all around. I just got done putting them on the car and taking some pictures... I really wanted to wash it before I took the pictures but daylight was fading. Anyway, here are the pics!

You can see how much wider the 275s are compared to the stock 235s. Why did ford put such pizza cutter tires on a performance car???








Oh and I was curious, so I decided to weigh the wheel/tire combo. Came in at 58.5 lbs just in case anyone was wondering.

Beautiful man, I really like them! Did you weigh the stock wheels and tires too?

We need to set up a northside Houston meet & greet. :-)
