Pics of the new rims, etc Just finished putting the new rims on yesterday. They are the Cobra (Eleanor) style. 18x8.5 fronts & 18x10 rears.
Wrapped them in Nitto 555's 255/45/18 up front & 285/40/18 in the back.
I also changed out the yellow side markers for some smoked ones.
and finally a shot of the GT500 spoiler.
Now all I need to do is drop the car about an 1" or so.

Thank you all for the kind words.
Now all I need to do is get the 1/4 window louvers that are sitting in my living room painted & put them on.

Looks good -- I really like the rims!
You know, when I read what size rubber you had put on, I was expecting the tires to look "meatier" somehow on the car -- maybe it was just the angle at which the photo was taken or something?
What's your take after seeing them on your own car?

I know what you mean. In person they really do standout. I'll try & take some more "flattering" pics and post them.

Looking good. The rims look like the old shelby wheels. It sounds like when you done you will have a first class winner.

Those rims look sweet! Not to change the subject but - where did you get that beautiful grille? I had decided not to change my stock v6 grille for a center fog lamp one because I couldn't find one with a horse badge on the side like i wanted! Will that grille fit a v6 mustang?

Yeah -- post some more pictures if you can get them!
Also, did you have the "spolier delete" option on your car, or did your new spoiler just bolt into the holes for the stock spoiler?
