Changed wheels. Black set is using a 19x10 rear replica. Thoughts?

I cant quite put my finger on it but its still not the look I want, I think the front need a small spacer to move them out more toward the fender edge. 245/45's in the front and 275/40's on the rear.

A slight angle shot might help to judge too, but yes I think you're correct ... front needs to come out a bit more.

Would probably look better with the same style of wheel on both sides of the car. LOL


cheers

Lose the 4x4 look perhaps? Not a big drop but 3/4"-1" would make a big difference. I'm super happy with my Bullitt springs.

It actually has "P" springs on it, I think it's just the angle

^^^ Just what I was thinking. Hurst has a nice set of springs that will set you 1.25 rear and 1.00 front. AND they aren't autocross 4 million lb/inch spring rate either so the still have a near factory ride to them. It will clean the car up not require a bunch of pinion angle adjusting or front end add on s to get the alignment right either. The only thing you may need would be an adjustable rear panhard bar and you can find those used all day long for nothing.

Have the ad Panhard already, here's a slightly different angle pic.

Fronts definitely need to come out. You could even do 1" bolt-on spacers I think.

Thankfully i happen to have a set so Im gonna try them tomorrow!!

Yup, fronts need those 1" spacers.

Just be careful with 1" spacers on an S197. You may find that you'll have to trim off some of the unthreaded pilot end of the factory studs so that they are not butting in to the back of the spacers. Otherwise they might not seat properly. I remember seeing that issue with a friend's 06 GT, and the wheel stud part # is the same from 05-14.

So here are some pics with 2 diff spacers, 1st are 5/16. Seem not quite enough, maybe a 1/2 in would work here?

This is with a bolt in 1 in spacer. This in person is out just a touch too much, hate to have put mud flaps on it!! HAHA

Top one my choice

Hi Phil,

Below picture to me looks just fine

I like the 1" spacer better.

It's a toss up, I think the small spacer and change to a 255/45 tire will do the rest.

+1!

The bottom pic looks good to me. I like the look of a 1" spacer on an S197 with stock offset wheels.

The only issue might be tire rub under extreme driving conditions (i.e. autocross, road course track days). I know this from experience with a similar set up. Under DD conditions, the 1" spacer shouldn't cause any problems.
