First, Yes I'm new here. Picked up a one-owner 2013 stripe delete black convertible back in May. I think it has all options except Recaros and heated seats. A little over 8K miles on the clock when I drove it off the lot. This is my first V8 muscle car in a loooong time. Her name is Tempest I've been getting my speed thrills from an e46 M3 for the past decade or so. Enjoying being back in an American muscle car and looking forward to making it uniquely mine.
I've added some GT500 stripes in a custom color (Black Rose Metallic), added upper and lower grills from CustomCarGrills.com, and smoked the marker lights. I don't plan on any engine mods. Maybe some exhaust and suspension mods eventually. Definitely swapping the 3:31 gears for 3:73 as God intended for the GT500.
My 7 year old stock GYs are worn and hard. I'm also not a fan of the SVTPP wheels. Thus, I'm looking for a new wheel/tire package. I mostly enjoy spirited driving on the twisty two-lanes out in the Texas Hill Country. No plans for street racing, drag racing, or track.
I'm considering the Variant Argon wheel 20x10 front, 20x11 rear. Max offset offered for the 11" wheel is 50mm. Based on some research 55-58mm would be a more optimal offset for this wheel.
Anyone running this combo and what tires are you running? I'm planning on 285/35 front and 315/30 rear NT555-G2.
Any comments about Variant? I also like the Project 6GR wheels in 20x10/11. Their 11" rear is also a 50mm offset.
Thanks!
