New wheels/tires installed today. Not a bad looking wheel/tire combination. Quite affordable as well.

20x9.5 +33 RTR wheels with 295x45x20 Toyo Proxes ST III's. Fitment is pretty good. May throw a 3mm rear spacer on the rear once I get it lowered......needs moar low asap. :cool: Front is pretty flush.

You don’t need a spacer. Just set the rear camber at -.5* and it’ll match the front then.

If these damn H&R springs ever become available I’ll see how it looks after lowering. Good point.

Check with Ron at Whoosh... He just sent me tracking info this evening for a package with two of the seven items I ordered last week and H&R springs are part of this shipment.

Here is a quick look at your car lowered on Steeda:

Very nice! Where did you order form?

RTR Tech 5 Mustang 851GB Wheel 20x9.5
5x4.5 (5x114.3) Gloss Black 33MM
$255.97 USD each
Shipping Cost: $0.00 USD

Toyo Tires PROXES ST III All-Season Radial Tire - 295/45/20 114V
I normally run Michelins on all my cars but figured I'd give these a try.

I also used some McGard spline drive lugnuts (14mmx1.5). I like them because the base rotates and minimizes damage to the wheel lugnut seating surfaces.

Do you have pics straight down the side from the rear showing how flush the wheels are?

Those are Great wheels! They used to make them for my Lotus but they are like diamonds now if you can find them. They will not let you down. I believe the TR is tire rack hahaha
