Welcome to MF.
Nice looking ride, those wheels look great. How wide are the rear wheels?...10?10.5?

Because the 4x4 look is not appealing on the mustang.

very nice. i was just checking out some FR500's with the polished lip. i've thought all along i'd do bullitts but a lot of mustangs go that route. need to see what they look like on a black car.

It really depends on where you live and the roads you travel. If you live in the woods and have to jump ditches all the time, leave it stock. Most people who run a sports car live somewhere that allows it. And in most cases they don't have to worry about getting in and out of places that would require a higher stance. By far the biggest complaint on a Stang is the factory 4X4 stance. And since springs can usually be had for somewhere around $200, why not make it look better?

Great looking car, glad you like the wheels. For the guy who asked, those wheels are 18X10 in the rear. A 295/45 is a little bigger than stock but it fits fine, gives a great ride and looks awesome.

Looks good man, and I like the black wheels. Hell we have almost the same car, except mine is on black Saleen style wheels. Disagree on lowering it, I think that just makes it look like a ghetto cruiser, lol. Welcome...
