New wheels new look!

New wheels new look!
Got the tires and wheels installed today. What a difference in driving feel the extra width makes! Very muscular. In this cold Indiana weather of 35degrees F the tires arent sticking to the ground too well but that's to be expected. Normally the car would still be in the garage for another two or three weeks until it warms up. Anyhow for those who were watching my wide wheel thread and anyone else, heres some pics I just took. Enjoy!

Oh yes, she's gonna need to be lowered a good inch at least now. That gap between the wheels and the fenders just got bigger. I'll be looking into the best bang for the buck suspension upgrades for sure. The Roush axle back or the Ford Racing Sport axle back and the FRPP Pro Cal tuner are next up though! Even without the lowering kit the car handles better on the turns and body roll has been cut way down. Otherwise with the suspension way up there like it is now the car sorta floats along like a Cadillac. She really looks better than I'd hoped for at this point. In person it looks pretty much factory cool.

Just got the front end alignment done. The mechanic said my wheels were inverted in like a snow plow. In 45 miles I was already showing the very slight but sure beginnings of inner treadwear! Always, always get the alignment done or do it yourself if you know how.
