Ok, It's going to be the Boss 302s wheels or AM 19" Bullitts (If they ever come back in stock). I'm a "Bullitt" guy so they are winning right now.

I leaned toward bullitt wheels for a long time till I found these Shelby razor's on sale. 18x9
20's are not right for me.

Al, what size tires are you running? They look good. Do you have any side profile pics of the entire car? I want to see what the fender gap looks like with 18s.

So here's another question...

Will I need to re-calibrate my ecu from going from a 215/65-17 tire (Diameter `28") to a 245/45-19 (Diameter 27.68)? I get the speedometer will be off a little bit, but I'm more concerned about the automatic transmission. is 0.32 of an inch negligible or will it require calibration?

Update... Went with 19 x 8.5" AMR Wheels w/ Perilli 245/45s. All sides square. I will mount them up later... waiting for some warm weather and my lug nuts and TPMS sync tool to get here...

Kind of a dark picture.

I've already got some things to nitpick about but I'm going to wait till their mounted on the cars so I can get the whole picture. Overall, I Think I'll like them. But they are going to have to grow on me, kinda had my heart set on bullitts. Any one know what PSI these should be ran at on a V6 35 front, 32 rear?

I have a related tire PSI question.
I've heard it said that if you have changed tires from original on your car and the car manufacturer's recommendations for tire PSI differ from the tire manufacturer, you should use the car manufacturers recommendations.
Agree or disagree?

I am running 38 in my winter tires on all 4 corners and on my summers I am 38 front and 36 rear. At the 32 that Ford recommends my car Wallows around like a drunk. Also my tires are all wearing straight across with even wear and they get rotated every 5,000 miles.

The panel on the inside driver door frame of my 2013 calls for 35 front and rear.

I'm pretty sure he has the performance package wheels which are 19" with different tires. His sticker probably lists a different cold weather PSI rating because of this.
