Yeah, we had fun, especially with some of the off-topic stuff. Have a safe trip and enjoy.

 

Ya, if your looking for a nice DD street tire go with the 18's your get a much better ride over the 20's

 

have one stang with 18's and one with 20's, both drive very well.

 

Okay guys - Here is the update:

I had Roush 427R Suspension installed on the car this week. I am amazed at the difference in ride, handling and just general comfort and control. I cannot believe how sloppy the stock GT is. I didnt realize the stock GT suspension sucked *** so badly until I had the change to 427R suspension done. This is springs, shocks/struts, sway bars etc. Now I know why most guys on here change the suspension setup. The Ford stuff is terrible. The car is MUCH flatter in corners, far less dive and squat and the ride is actually BETTER and smoother. WOW!

I also had the FPRR Brembo (GT500) brake kit installed. But the 18 Inch Razors do not clear so I am staying with the 20's. I love the Razor look and hoped for the 18's, but they just cannot clear the big Brembo, even with the 24 offset wheel. However, now that I changed the suspension, the 20's are totally acceptable for ride and handling. I found out that the big problem isnt wheel size, it is Ford suspension.

 

i thought the 24 offset cleared the Brembos?
Doesnt matter, im getting these. http://www.rttire.com/wheels/14879/C...S40-BLACK.html

 

Nice wheel!

The 24 offset in 20 inch Razors does clear just fine.

The 24 offset in the 18 inch Razors, will not clear. The spokes will hit the caliper. They do offer the 18's in a 12 offset, but that would look horrible on the S197.

 

24mm are a very close fit, but we have seen them on GT500s before. 24mm wheels are not designed for the 05+ though. There are two different Razor wheels. The early ones, and the later ones. I have a few early ones here and can show you a picture compared to a later production version. The color is different and the spokes are designed differently. My assumption is you received the earlier production wheels. On the back of the wheel there are two rows of 12 boxes with dots or X's in them. If you are able to look at them and relay back how many there are and in what order, I can date the wheels for you.
