Sorry for the bad pics. I used my friends DSLR for these and have no experience with a good camera.

The tires are 275/40/18

Im also running 8mm spacers now. It pokes right along the fender wells now and I love it

Thanks for the comments

Giavanna kilis 20x8.5 and 20x10

Those wheels look great. Do you have the big brakes on your car? I had heard that possibly the kilis did not clear the brembo's. Can you confirm?

Again, really nice set up.

They've been around for awhile, they fall in the tuner portion a little more. They're pretty much identical to the RTRs but (to me) have better offsets that will allow me to get a bigger rear tire. I'm impressed with the quality of the wheels, if anyone is around the Fayetteville NC area feel free to take a look at them.

They are available in two offsets for the front... one fits brembo's(20 something offset, the other ones fit the car better with a 30 something offset. In case anyone was wondering... he's got 255/35/20 and 295/35/20 nitto invo's.

Jayman 33, never heard of the Avante Gardes"...they look like TSW knock offs....you happy with them?

They dont come made for a mustang bolt pattern, they're sent to a machine shop, and redrilled and refinished. Decent wheels, haven't heard anything bad about them. They're VMR copies, and VMR made the first RTR wheel, but the bolt pattern and offset rights were sold to RTR, so they stopped making them for the public.

Avant Garde makes the RTR wheel in any color you want and any width/offset. I almost went with 19x9.5/11 front rear, but I didnt like the idea of having the holes filled and redrilled. Just sounds strange and unsafe to me, but I've been told it's a common practice among wheel manf.

295/40/20 won't fit with sportlines... 295/35/20 will fit though. I had 305/35/20's with sportlines, but i had 20x11 wheels with a 59mm offset.

Avant Garde is now producing a 3 piece forged version (F310) that is drilled from blanks and weighs in the low 20's. MSRP however is $1000 per wheel.

You guys that are running forgestars, will the 11's in the rear stick out or rub anything on the 05 09 cars? Whats the best size tire on an 18x11 rear with sportlines?I am looking at the cf5's and trying to figure out if I should go 10 or 11 on the rears.Thanks

So a 18x11 is ok but 305 is about the widest?Saw one guy on here running 335's on the 11 inch forgestars but his was a 11 5.0.
