Thank you! I keep forgetting you have the full lid on your Saleen Supercharger. So yeah changing the fluid will be a bit harder than mine.Very nice indeed! Also totally jealous here as well

Ferrada wheels? Great fitment. What specs did you have to go with?
What steps would be involved in order to uninstall just the lid? If the fuel rails, coolant hoses and water crossover pipe don't require removal? Then taking off the lid would provide the best access to the oil plug for checking/changing the SC oil.Thank you! I keep forgetting you have the full lid on your Saleen Supercharger.

They were already on the car when I bought her, but the prev owner provided the receipt. See attached. The stance on the rears is perfect for 285 rear tire... but if you want larger, it would be better if the offset was more in the + direction... maybe +45 or so IMO. I’m running 295s now and it works ok... no fender contact... will probably try a 305 DR on the next change.
You're not gonna be happy with that. A 305 on a 10.5"-wide wheel is gonna have some sidewall bulge and with the crazy offset of those wheels, you'll probably have tire/fender contact.
A 10.5" wheel really needs an offset closer to ~50 mm to tuck a fat tire.
Just like an 11"-wide wheel should have an offset closer to 60mm
you love rolling the dice and have a brave wifeTook the wife's Shelby to work again today.
700+ horsepower GT500, drag radials on the back, and wet roads. What more could I ask for?
Ok, it was a fun ride, only spun a few times.

Thanks for the input... important things to consider for sure.
The potential for contact bothers me much more than a little bulge (as long as it’s just a little). Here’s the Nitto 555 R 305/35/20 on a 9.5” wide wheel. That was too much bulge and I put them on 10.5” after that and they looked good.
Totally agree on the offset too... not sure why the prev owner didn’t get them more pulled inside. My Pilot Super Sports are pretty new. So nothing is happening soon. Here’s how they sit at 11.9” wide. The Nitto DR’s are 12.17” wide... taller too I bet... probably not worth taking the chance.
New wheels are such a big investment... so if I want to race I could go a different direction and just buy similar-looking generic 17” rears only from Jegs and put some nice fat MT ET Street R’s and call it done... my best times ever 1/4 and 1/8 have all been on MT ET Street R’s.

Have replaced my existing OEM front sway bar w\ this FoMoCo part# BR33-5482-BE ('13 Ford Mustang Boss 302) which is a part used w\ the Ford Performance Pack option also provided for same MY GT Coupes if ordered so. Tested the part on some twisty roads after install (in tandem w\ recently installed Ford Performance M-3075-E FLCA Kit w\ prior installed Ford Performance M-18183-C USM Kit using Koni STR.ST struts\shocks w\ the OEM '09 frt\rear springs) & the handling performance\steering response was so night & day improved over the OEM part it replaced, I went to my local Ford dealership today & had this frt sway bar's part# cross referenced to find the matching rear sway bar assembly for the same '13 Boss 302 (part# CR3Z-5A772-Q....comes fully assembled w\ all parts to install it out the box) & ordered it to replace the existing OEM rear sway bar assembly on my '09 Stang as well to work in concert w\ the new frt sway bar.
I like that these parts provide a useful upgrade improvement path for 05-09 S197's while still maintaining OEM look\fit.
Well Gabe, I can only give what my local Ford dealership parts guy found when he ran the cross reference on the actual FoMoCo part# off the tag of the frt sway bar that matched it........which does show up as a Ford Performance Pack option for '13 Boss 302 or '13 GT Coupe w\ Performance Package option. There was 1 other performance package grouping listed above this 1......SVT Performance Package (assuming this came w\ either the '13 GT500 or '13 Boss 302 Laguna Secca models or as a special order package for a GT Coupe\Convertible).That part number seems a bit off.
I looked into the Boss 25mm rear swaybar (part # CR3Z-5A772-S) for my '13 GT Track Pack which currently has the stock 24mm bar and at 8 years old, it's starting to get a little creaky from the factory bushings wearing out.
I found it as low as $166 with free shipping which is a deal and a half, considering it comes with the links and bushings all installed, just gotta bolt it up.
