Looks good, but aren't they 275/40's?

No, they're 45's. I have a couple sets here.

 

[KoolerSL2]

they are 45's, but are short 45's. 750 rev per mile according to tirerack.

Do you have 285/40's? If so, how much for 4?

That's a little bit tall, but doesn't look bad. That's the standard revs per mile for that size, at least according to this calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit

Teaser pic of mine. 18x10 AMR's and 285-40's all around. It was snowing, and my car isn't running yet, so this is as good as the pics get for a few days.

 

[asianskater91]

im getting sick of seeing the same wheels over and over rofl

thanks David, I am just happy someone else is getting to enjoy them and has the car sitting right

haha yeah for sure dude haha

 

[19COBRA93]

im getting sick of seeing the same wheels over and over rofl

Then good thing I didn't buy my wheels to please you. I guess I should have got bullitts. They're pretty rare...

 

[Ssiptang]

I agree. But they do look good tho

i didnt buy them, got the car with em, dont worry i will be getting new wheels, just gotta find some that arent on every other mustang and that look good...but its just everyone and there grandpa, literally grandpas, has bullitts, fr500, amr, saleens, like why doesnt anyone do anything diff? its yals cars but still, we have to break the mold, even my neighbor has bullitts on his 01, gets so old, but yeah didnt mean to offend anyone or you, just stating

also whats the offset of those rims? 45?

I agree. But they do look good tho

yeah they look good, i mean all those wheels i see so much look good but just so common, its crazy

So, for reference, I just went back through the whole thread, and there is one other car with AMR's besides mine, and his are staggered. Either way, no biggie.

Yes, mine are 45 offset.

Looks real good man. I am also going with 18x10's and 285/40's all the way around. Only difference is I went with Forgestar F14's and Conti EC DW's. Just waiting for the Forgestar's to finally arrive. How much are you lowered by the way? I'm guessing you don't know if you have any rubbing up front yet since your car isn't running yet, right?

You also have to remember that this forum is not what we see driving around daily. Something that might be common on this forum is likely not all that common on the streets. For example I don't think I've seen a stang yet in person with those AMR wheels. One thing however I think is overplayed on the forums though is BLACK wheels. Thats all anyone buys anymore. I'm breaking the mold with Brushed titanium wheels for my car

 

[asianskater91]

i see i see, well still very common, specially bullitts and fr500 omg its like sickening lmfao and oh i see, do you have a like a rear side shot kinda? i wanna see the poke with 285/40

 

[TRC51]

I have half of a set of the wheels that I have not seen on any Mustang yet (which I find hard to believe no one has tried them). I hope they turn out as good as I imagine them in my mind...... but I can't post them in this thread. LOL I have researched wheels to absolute death. Expecting the other half tomorrow, but I still have to get the tires on... which may be a while.

that looks good .. if i would run those offsets i would go with a similar tire size setup... very nice

im getting sick of seeing the same wheels over and over rofl

people do run very similar setups around here... but hey people are gunna run what they want/like ... it leaves more room to be unique for others so its all good with me. i just dont like when others knock you for doing something different. but then again i dont really care haha

I think is overplayed on the forums though is BLACK wheels. Thats all anyone buys anymore. I'm breaking the mold with Brushed titanium wheels for my car

so fucking true! i think the black wheel fad is played out ... to me at least. just seems like so many people are still jumping on that.

i feel like screaming ... PEOPLE! GOD INVENTED OTHER COLORS BESIDES BLACK ... sometimes ... lol

on another note im anxious to see that brushed titanium ... i think its gunna be damn sexy!
