Default RE: 20 INCH FOOSE NITROUS WHEELS

thanks everyone for all the pics really appreciated it. Im going to order the black version this week sometime.got a couple more questions before i buy them.
1.what size tires are you guys running with 20+8.5 in front & 20+10 in rear.
2.And why did you select that size are they any advantages to your selection.
I see most running 255 35 in front and 275 35 in rear.
a few with 245 35 in front and 285 30 in rear.Whats the difference between these to set-ups.
Please help thanks again everyone.

By the way my mustang gt is satin silver

One thing to note is that with the Black and Grey Version that polished lip is actually not part of the rim itself but it is glued on. I know Foose was having big issue's at one time with the polished piece coming off. They stopped production of them for awhile until they got that issue resolved. But that is something you should be aware of.


MATTBLASI What brakes are you having an issue with fitting on the car. That dam valve stem was a concern of mine when i got my wheels and it seems as though my concern may have been justified. Can you tell my what brake setup you are having a trouble fitting?

Richard
AP Racing 14.25" w/ 6 Piston Calipers for the front and AP Racing 13" w/ 4 Piston Calipers for the rear. I spoke with someone (forgot his name) at Foose Designs and he is the one who suggested a smaller valve stem for the center and I realized also by looking at the clearance over the factory calipers that because of the offset (don't remeber what it is off the top of my head but I have it written somewhere) I needed wheel spacers to push the wheel out a bit so I am using H&R Spacers. Right now I need to get the car in to have the larger studs pressed on and I am waiting for a shorter valve stem from Newstalgia. I think in any case I am only going to keep these wheels as daily driving wheels and get a different set of wheels for shows, since so so so many people are running one of the 3 variations of these wheels.

I was thinking of going with Foose Speedster 5's in black since they are a 3 piece wheel and I can order them in a custom offset, along with the fact that if I jack one up it is alot easier to repair. A bit pricier than the Nitrous wheels but they look hot too If not those then it will most likely be a set of Forgeline SP3P wheels (of course black w/ polished lip).

I went to the Ford Dealership to check the tire sizes on the Foose Stallion because seeing pictures online does not give you a good impression of what it really looks like. There are plenty of pics on here of great looking cars, but I know they look better in person because I was not impressed with the stance or look of the wheels on the Stallion when I saw it in pictures. In person however, it looks excellent.

Here are the tire sizes off the Stallion:
Front Nitto 245/40/20
Rear Nitto 275/35/20

I ordered the same tire sizes but Falken, not Nitto because of the price difference. I am hoping they will be about the same size and look.

by the way discounttiredirect.com has great prices and free shipping too.
