So I installed those 1" spacers....

[VTXFrank]

And I think I like the way it turned out. What do you think?

Front looks perfect, the back sticks out too far for my taste. I love the new wheels though, goes so good with the red.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Looks kinda goofy to me. IMO, Id remove em.

Im a fan off aggressive offsets... I think the spacers look better than the stock offset, but it looks a little weird because the tire tread is out past the fender. If your tires were stretched a bit over a wider wheel it would work but in your case, i think you should try running a less aggressive spacer till its flush.

 

[VTXFrank]

Yeah...I think you're right. I need to get a 3/4", or 20mm, spacer. I still like the way it looks as it is, but knowing my luck, I'll collapse a shock and rip my fender up.

That car is gonna look good no matter how far the wheel stick out...

Run it like this for a bit and let it grow on you, then swap out the 3/4" and see how that looks, once you get used to them sticking out, it looks weird when you tuck it back in.


Are your wheel 9" wide? What tire size? My 07 Gt had 26mm 9" w wheels 275-40 and they stuck out, i thought it just looked Bad Ass, some ppl love it some ppl hate it.

The wheels on the Saleen are 36mm but they are 10.5" and the is a 275 so its stretched and that creates the illusion of the wheel tucked flush.

I think I don't like your rear tail light covers, lol. Seriously. They just don't look right for some reason. Kinda look "bubbly", if you know what I mean. I do like the fronts though. Weird.

But, I do like the spacers. I honestly didn't think I would, but it gives it a little bit more "agressive" look. Your car looks amazing now Frank. So much better than the old wheels!

 

[NastyStang113]

I don't really like the covers, either.

 

[Beerhunter]

Mine are too wide as well.... around 3/4 in the back and 1 1/4 in the front would be perfect IMO. I do like the agressive look it gives but it really needs to be bang on to look right.

 

[DDTCM]

Frank,I think its all about personal taste just like paint color or wheel style.Give it some time and it will probably grow on you.I think the rear looks fine but the fronts look a little tucked to me.....again thats just personal opinion.Those new wheels look 100% better than the chrome ones also.

It would look awesomerist if you ran a 305 or 315 on the rears....

This! Than you don't need a spacer.

 

[BLVCKmamba]

Have to agree with redmoses. Stretch tires a bit and then throw a bigger spacer up front and stretch tires, but other than that I would love to have that car. 9inch wheels seem kinda narrow for that beast! Throw some 11s in the rear like Vaughn Gittin Jr.

I don't think it looks bad at all but do they rub?

Looks good as well. Are those taillight covers?

No not covers, replaced the entire assembly (LED)

Nope, no rubbing at all and I've made a point to go over some good bumps just to make sure I wouldn't hit my fender. The thing is, the way they stick out, even if I did hit something really hard, it would go up into the rear part of the fender much more so than towards the front. There's a tad more space in there than I first thought. I'm going to try some 5/16 spacers up front and see how it looks.

As far as my tail light covers, I'm not really a fan of these covers either. But it's all I have for now. I'm going to find a place to order some tint from and just tint them. Or maybe wait till they have an LED version for the 2011 and buy those.
