Need help with my 2011 GT lowering springs
#13
LOWERED MY 2010. EIBACH PRO SPRINGS. DONT FORGET THE ALINGMNET BOLTS YOU PUT IN BEFORE THE ALIGNMENT (SAVES MONEY ON THE PRICE THE SHOP WILL CHARGE YOU FOR THEM) AND A PANHARD BAR CAUSE THE BODY DID SHIFT. I WILL CHANGE THE SHOCKS N STRUTS ONCE THE BANK HAS SOMETHING I CAN WITHDRAWL. RIDES A LITTLE ROUGH BUT I STILL LOVE THE LOOK.

Go with a wheel that has an offset in the 20's I've run 24mm offset and the current wheels i have are 20mm offset, fyi stock is 38mm offset on the s197 cars.

^ not without some tire rubbing as you can't run this low an offset with a wider wheel width, example the black car is a 20X9 wheel 28mm offset 265/35/20 the white is 20X8.5 24mm offset 265/35/20 due to the narrower wheel width and same section width plus 4mm less in offset it looks pushed all the way out versus the razors, now the silver 2011 20X8.5 20mm offset 245/45/20 when lowered will probally have a little bit more room than the white car due to a narrower tread section width. I would say that you could possible run a 20X9.5 in back with a 28-32mm offset lowered no rubbing issues if you didn't go any wider than a 275/85 section width*example see the RTR mustang which I believe uses a 19X9.5 30mm offset wheel* and a 20X10 with say 32-35mm offset no wider than a 295 section width tire. On the black and white 2010's I had no rubbing issues except on the white one at low speeds maximum turning the tire would rub the inner&top of the plastic wheel well cover due to the 265 section width
Hope this helps

^that sounds about right for the back offset the front I ran a 20X9 28mm offset 265/35/20 thats the black 2010's setup lowered 2" in front prob could have gone as low as a 22mm offset, so 37mm is a bit on the high side for offset jmo though if your stang turns out anything like your accord it should b sick man can't wait to see it

thanks for the help one more question, don't hate or joke because i might be backwards or flat out wrong in my question but, i dont know if it has to do with the specific wheels and tires or suspension, but the RTR mustang you mentioned doesn't appear to have the same camber angle as the white and black cars in this thread, in the pictures i've seen it looks like it has slightly positive camber as opposed to the negative look of the white and black cars why is that?

^ might be because the rtr is only lowered 1.5" where the black 2010 was over 2" in front/back and the white was just over an inch in front&2" in back. Honestly it beats me either way though the rtr is sick looking imo and the fact you will be able to either build it with the pieces you choose or order it like that directly from your ford dealer has me impressed*the new dub edition v6 will be sweet to.
I mean come on the rtr&dub editions are obviously very tuner inspired mustangs and yet it seems they both are getting widespread approval from the blue blooded nation
