dude i looked through your pics and i have to say your stang is ridiculous. so nice. i love the blacked out everything. couple questions haha

1) what size are you running all roung like rims, tires, everything.. do you have all the dimensions? offsets diameter tire specs
2) are those the aluminum rear louvers?
and 3) did you paint the rear GT fake gas cap black or buy a new one?

sick sick car man

thanks for the compliments

1) the rims are 18x9 in front (+24 offset) with 255/45-18 tires and 18x10 in back (+28 offset) with 285/40-18 tires and the car is lowered 2"

2) they are the astra hammond aluminum rear louvers

3) I painted the gas cap black, but those are older pictures and it's not on the car anymore

if you have any more questions just let me know

thanks for the reply. im actually going for a similar look although my car is a type of silver but i want to put on tenzo type M wheels 19 X 8.5 in the fronts and 19 X 10 in the rear. the offset for the 8.5's are 45 which is fine but in the rear (for the 19 X 10) the offset only comes 22. i was worried about rubbing against the brake caliber. do you think that would be a problem at all? and by the way i DO want the rear tire to stick out past the fender like yours. i think it looks much more aggresive.

You'll clear the caliper just fine, there's plenty of room behind the wheel, and with the 22 offset they'll stick out slightly more than mine which would look just fine.

offset doesnt have anything to do with clearing the brake calipers. Spoke design and wheel diameter do.
