By the way, what do you think of the Falken FK-452 rubber? My company is a Falken Distributor and we sell a pretty fair amount of them.
I love these tires. When I will need another set of tires, I will stick with these. By far the best tires I have purchased. My wife has the same tires on her 2007 Mustang.

And then it's compounded by the fact that the further the weight is from the center of the axle the larger effect it has. And I think you'd notice a decent difference. Both in handling and a few feet in stopping distance.



And while I understand some people are just into the looks side of it more than performance. I just don't understand buying a car aimed at performance (GT and better models) and then making it slower.
17" look like crap on this new body-style. The stock 18" barely look decent

I agree, the 18's barely look doable. Where did you get the GT500 wheels?

Got them from a guy near miami that had them listed on E-Bay. He bought them for his 2008 GT500 and they looked awesome to me but he didn't like them..... so i scooped them up

I love the fatties on mine! The body style almost requires the look! Plus the stocks are way too skinny! It is a night and day look even though I never thought I would go from stock 17's to 20's! But like MCDonalds badabababoba I'm lovin it!
