SVE Drift's

[Norm Peterson]

So what is the worse thing that would happen if I put these 18's on my 11? More rock chips since the offset on the wheel is not for the 11+?

Moving the contact patch further outward will affect the alignment that the car actually sees when you're driving it (your toe changes slightly from the static setting due to tire rolling drag and suspension bushing compliances). So you might want to consider a small change in your toe setting.

The tires you are advertising for the 18's for the 2005-12 are the 255/45/18 Nitto Nt555

That size will work well on either 9" or 9.5" wide wheels.

So I'm seeing that you guys are advertising the 18's for the 05-12's. Are you guys now making these with the correct offset now? I've been holding off because I want 18's with the correct offset. Nice to see that you guys are putting 275/40/18 Nitto Nt555 on.

No. It's still a 24mm offset, we just chaned the tire size for the 05+ guys.

the +35 offset is perfect imo, if guys are complaining that the +35 (or +33 of the RTR's) is too aggressive, they wouldnt come close to liking the aggressive look of the +24 wheel

I would love to see some pics of the 18's with the 275's on a 2010+

Ditto

Post #72 has pictures of my car with the 18's and the 275's.

I think I like them, but if I saw them on a 2011 candy red mustang in black I might be more convinced to buy them because I want some 18 that will clear my Brembos

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

They are some nice looking wheels. We dont have any candy red cars here at LRS. I think we have every other color though.

The Drifts on Red Candy would be amazing! Red Candy and Grabber Blue are the two best colors that respond well to matte black.

I'm really curious to see what the silver Sve drifts look like on grabber blue. I already bought the flat black ones but i still think they would look good silver.

I would love to see these in 18's with the CORRECT offset for brembo cars also!!

 

[07blackGT]

18x10 would be nice.

So I've got a question...will the 18s fit for us 05-09 guys?

The reason I ask is because the site says the following for the 18 x 9s:

Direct Fit for 1994-2004 Mustang

While the 19 x 9.5 says:

Direct Fit for 2005-2012 Mustang

Hmm...

These look sick as hell. I'm definitely getting these, but I don't know about the size that I want. I'm worried that the 19 x 9.5 tires are going to be too expensive.

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

The 18's will fit. Jay from JLT picked up a set, and i have also posted pictures and mounted them on my 2012 with no problems.

The 18's were designed for the 94-04 cars, and the 19's were for the 05+.

So I've got a question...will the 18s fit for us 05-09 guys?

The reason I ask is because the site says the following for the 18 x 9s:

The wheel will physically bolt up to an '05 - '09, but it won't have the right offset (it'll set further out, which may limit your tire size choices particularly if you're lowered much).

[JGrein05]

So do you know if yall are going to sale these 18s with the correct offset and still fit over the Brembos for us 05+ guys?

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

I do know we have talked about it. There will be some more information posted about it in the coming weeks. Sometime after the first of the year.

 

[TrickyP]

Once I get back into town on Thursday I will try to take some pics of my 06 GT with the 18" Drifts. They stick out a little (compared to the 19" Brembos), but now that I've had them on the car for a bit, I really like them.

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

Would love to see pics of them on your car. So far I have only seen them in the 10+ cars.
