What's the deal guys, </P>


Now that I'm getting the packs, gears, chip and maybe the timing adjuster, I was thinking of my wheels. I've heardthat 17' wheels perform better on the street then 18' inches..(I hope that it's not a stupid questions<IMG height=17 src=smileys/smiley9.gif width=17 border="0">) </P>


Is this true? 18's look bad a$$, but I want the performancevs the looks... </P>


Will 18's make the car heavier? Slower? <IMG src=smileys/smiley24.gif border="0"> Any input on this one? </P>


Thanks again!</P>

 

WELL IN WHAT PERFORMANCE U LOOKING FOR....

 

I just don't want the car to feel like it's carrying heavy a$$ wheels. I like the way 17's handle, but man, those 18's look so clean.. My stock 17's feel good but I wanted to fill up my wheel fenderwith 18's - then I thought- are 18's going to slow me down? </P>


So that's my dilemma right now. I (in theory, I guess) think that 18's are going to be a little heavy for my stang. Then again, I don't know! </P>


What are you running with? </P><edited><editID>aaron_b_b</editID><editDate>37914.9845138889</editDate></edited>

 

Im running on 15' el cheepo pep boys that were very ugly when i first got the car but with some paint and a few hours of cleaning they look pretty sweet but anyway i wanna get some cobra rs 17' they look sweet

 

sorry i cant tell u bout the performance but if u get 18' theres hardly gonna be any rubber on that wheel and that cant be good for performance i guess i duno.......

 

17s would be better for drag racing, bigger sidewall.

 

</P>


Yhea, I'm interested in either the 18' or 17' Y2k's. It sounds like 17' is better for racing. </P>


Anymore feed guys? <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>

 

The taller the wheel, the slower you go.</P>


Just go with 17's, and drop your car an inch.</P>

 

</P>


Thanks Dan,</P>


Why an inch? I got the Eibach sportline springs laying around. How much will they drop? I also have Tokico adjustables(laying right nex to them). Will I need anything else to have a better suspension? </P>


**off the subject**. What would happen if you added Tokico adjustables for the rear and left the stock shocks in the front? Why I ask? Cause my friend thinks that it's going to be good... Is that right? </P>

 

Ohh, Sorry SVT Cobra for not acknowleding your comment. I think I will take your advise on that aswell. </P>


Speaking of Cobra, My friend has an 03 cobra and just today added 18' saleen wheels with 295/45 tires in the rear.. Those look nasty.. My opinion! But they are Nitto and he's doing about 460 to the wheel right now with the mods he's done. GOT Traction? <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


THanks again guys. I know that I'll have more questions, and because I'm new to the mustang world, you'll see alot of me here.</P>
