DUH..i should have just looked at your SIG...Sorry..

ISs the Dish size the same..its hard to tell in the pics..

Is the dish deeper in the rear?

Where did u get them and how much.

Thanks..You made a great choice..
The dish set back is the same in the front. They are the Shelby Torque Thrusts from American Racing. A little over 900.00 for the set.

It wouldn't have done any good. Per his sig you would have gotten a 255/45/1 tire for the front when it required an 18" tire instead. [8D]

As for the color, do what you want. When people say that "everybody does that", that means everybody on the forums does that. How often in real life do you see any stangs like the ones from the forums? Hardly ever!

Here is my suggestion. Since you added new wheels, which look real good btw, i would do red if you are going to add some aftermarket drilled/slotted rotors, only for the reason of people will look at them more since it will make them stand out and you will see the disgusting stock rotors on there with those nice wheels. If you dont plan on doing rotors at all then i'd do black.

Doh! [&:] That WOULD be a tiny little front tire! (just hate those typos)

Don't paint the stock calipers at all. I would only do painted calipers if they were after market. Take the money you would spend on painting them, and put it towards upgrading the roaters & calipers.

Lol, the paint is a couple of bucks ... no where near rotors and calipers (and not even enough to "save" the money). Besides, I think painted ones look good, especially since I find the silver clashes with my polished wheels.

OK, stop fighting! I'll do the front red and the back black, or maybe the right side red and the left side black! [&:]
