What tire size & springs are you on?

I honestly don't remember the tire size. I can get it later for you though. (currently at work) The springs are the FRPP K springs with FRPP shocks and struts. I wish it had more of a rake to it though. I have debated putting the stock struts back in to see what it would look like.

Yes please, last year I had GT bumpers front & rear with staggered tire diameter 18's on FRPP springs, and did have a nice rake. This year its CS fascias front & rear, with same diameter 20's all around, still on the FRPP springs... very curious as to what the stance will really look like (trying to wait a few more weeks before pulling it out of winter storage). I think those Saleen wheels came with Pirelli PZero 275/35ZR-20 which is the same as what I have sitting waiting for the car, I think the stance looks good but I have a strong feeling that I will be wishing for more rake. I was planning to build some rake with tire sizes on new wheels, but came across a wheel & tire package I could not pass up.

BTW, struts should not affect ride height/rake.

I meant to say shocks. Front tires are 255/35. Rear are 285/30.

Not being a jerk... shocks/struts should not affect ride height unless you have airshocks, the springs and tire height is what gets you there.

Looking at your setup you actually have a tiny bit taller tire in the front.

27" Front vs 26.8" rear

I was running 26" front vs 27.3" rear when I had the rake that I loved... I think my perfect would be a 27" front & 28" rear stance wise (the 26" front looked small in the wheel well at times).

How bad did it rub? I pm'd you about it, not sure if you got a chance to read it yet
It didn't rub too bad, but enough to worry about damaging my fender or my wheels if I hit a big enough bump or pothole, which I didnt want to risk. I switched to FRPP Cobra Jet Springs and it lifted the car back up about 1.5 inches so I should have no problem with wheel and tire clearance.

Might switch back to a lower spring once I have my fun at the strip with it. I need the extra clearance for drag wheels and tires, and the cobra jet should improve my 60ft times too.

Yeah, I found a set of used rear K springs on egay for 20$ I plan on putting on the back just in case I need to raise the back up a bit with the 305/35/20's

I would....i was picking strands of rubber out of my wheel wells at times.....:rant:


LOL, sounds like you had more than just a "Little Rub" then. I will see what my ofsett looks like, but to be honest I think the K spings paired with the sportline front would give a little of the rake back which would be a good thing too. The sportlines look good with the stock GT500 wheels, but it is jsut a little too flat for my taste. The back is less than 1/2" higher than the front right now on 285/35/19"s

^ Do you have brembos?

I actually like those wheels... If they clear brembos I might have to buy a set.

stoptech 4 pistons, actually a little bigger than the brembos. These wheels clear up to the brembo 6 piston brakes as well
