Man, this is AWESOME. I can’t believe I missed the Fox build. Car looks great.
2 questions:
1) I’m doing my Teal Cobra project this winter and also planning IRS. What backspacing did you run with the rear wheels for the ‘03-04 IRS on the Fox? I’m planning 305/35/18 Nitto DRs or ideally Toyo R888 285/35 or 305/35/18 (I know the 305 NT555RS fit, but not familiar with Toyo R888s fitment.
2) Side splitter updates?
If you’ve seen Makers Garage on social media he is local to me and building Fox parts. He’s been trying to do an 18” version of the ‘93 Cobra wheel for a while. Maybe Signature Wheels can make that a reality.
Great build so far. I’m looking forward to updates.

Any updates?

Things have been a little busy to say the least.

The Foxbody is at Griggs Racing for the completion of the suspension install.

Picked up a Raptor that I built a set of Signature wheels for. This truck is a friggin BLAST!

The GT350R is about to get a set of lowering springs, GT4 style hood vent from Carters Customs, and a new set of our Signature Wheel Royal Series SV801.

Man, my brother sold his IRS fox before getting it done. Now he is putting the IRS in an SN95. Once it gets mounted I will let you know on the backspacing. Want to be sure it’s all legit

I actually have been talking with Jason a bit. Hoping I can get some of his designs built. Should be bad ass

Sorry I’m responding in both threads but can Signature do 17-18” wheels? Maybe even 15”?
I think there’s a small business in doing drag wheels. RC Customs came out strong and it proved guys want more than just what Weld provides.
If you can do a drag line in 15/17/18” and get close to Weld prices, you’d do pretty well.
If you want Welds it’s a good 6wks build time and not exactly cheap, so guys will pay and wait. I’d love my Shelby run some custom drag wheels. Right now it’s 18x5 and 15x10 beadlock RTS Welds strip and 18x5 and 17x11 Forgestar Street.

We can definitely build you a 17-18 inch drag setup. We had a guy recently that bought a set of our 19” wheels to run on the street, and welds on track. Turned out our setup was lighter than his Welds. He sold those and bought two extra rear 18” wheels for track duty.

Been missing the GT350R lately. Had to throw it in storage for a while as I sorted out other projects. Brought it home to finalize a few things before bringing it back out with its new look. Hope for some fun track days this year.
.
Been tweaking the suspension with the DSC Sport Controller which has been fun. I swapped in the 16.5" 2020 GT500 brakes a while back but did not want the weight penalty. Sooooooooo I changed the front to the Racing Brake Carbon Ceramic 2020 GT500 front 16.5" rotors and street compound pads.
.
Currently sitting on our Signature Wheel Royal Series SV801 in Brushed Bronze Tinted. This is a maximum fitment with a 20x11.5 square, 315/30/20 Michelin 4S at all four corners, and DEEP concave.
.
The 2021 iteration should be quite impressive with a few goodies from Archetype Racing
