Finally got a chance to get my new wheels and tires mounted on. Sorry for the low quality pics and the dirty car. I couldn't drive it for a little over two weeks and I am going to detail it this weekend.

Specs: Forgestar F14's 20x9, 20x11 with 275/35/20 Hankook v12's Front and 315/30/20 Toyo R888's Rear.

I've wanted this setup since I got my car in January of 2011. So happy to finally have it sitting the way I want. :rockon:

In for more pics and less instagram.

I'll post some more pics up after I get her cleaned up.

Looks nice. How's the grip with those R888's?

So far so good haven't really gotten on it to be honest. Did a few quick throttle blips in 2nd in a corner which used to send the rear out to the side with the stock 245 p zero's.

I'm in EP too maybe we could meet up so you can check them out in person.

Very Nice!

That is the set up I am looking at putting on my GT500.
I like that the Forgestar F14's look similar to the SVTPP wheels and that you can get an 11" wide rear wheel. IMO, nothing looks better then big fat rear tires. :beer:

More pic's please.

You'll be really happy with them! I feel like my car is brand new to me all over again with the new tire setup.

looking good man, no profile shot?

Thanks man, I'll take some better pics tomorrow after I clean her up and get my adjustable panhard bar mounted on it's off to the driver side by just a little bit.

Are you lowered?

Yes Ford Racing K springs and that's it. I sized these tires to be close to the same diameter as my stock 245/45/19's.

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
245/45-19 4.3in 13.8in 27.7in 87.0in 729 0.0%
315/30-20 3.7in 13.7in 27.4in 86.2in 735 -0.9%
275/35-20 3.8in 13.8in 27.6in 86.6in 731 -0.4%

Looks good. I have been wondering how gloss black wheels would look on a black car VS matte. How do you like it. I can't decode on gloss or matte but I have RTRs now

To be honest I don't really like the look of matte black wheels on a gloss black car. I've wanted these wheels for along time and was finally able to get them. I've seen gloss black zo6's, cobras, etc. all with gloss black wheels and I've always thought this combo was perfect. Every other black mustang I've seen on the streets with black wheels have a matte black set and it just looks like they're rolling around with 4 spare tires.

Once I wash my car and get some better pics you'll see these wheels just fit right. It's your car but if you were going to ask me for my opinion, I'd tell you to go with something other than matte black.

Took a side shot today, car is still dirty. We've been getting a lot of wind and sand storms over the last few days and today I got stuck on 24 hour duty.

How are you liking the r888s? I have crappy 275s sumos on the back of mine... They are stretched on the 10.5 back wheel LoL... Looking for 305 or something like that. What kind of drop and are they rubbing?

The r888's are awesome grip really well. 315's on 20x11's. 1.5" Drop and no rubbing at all.

My friend's exhaust only Boss that I spanked twice at the track and once on the street the other night. Spinning ain't winning!
