18" Konig Maxxim wheels

I say keep the ones you have now. They fit the car better imo.

I've always liked those...but the 8.5" width max didn't work well for me so I never got them.

Anyone know if another companies offers something extremely similar?

what can you fit on a 8.5 inch rims? 275s? 285s? thats not that bad

i have thorco's wheels now. they'll be going on this week finally. i only got 245/40/18's because i wanted to keep the drive ratio similar and also hope for some weight savings.

I'm running 245 40/18 fronts and 295 35/18 rears

 

[MyBoxersSayJoe]

are they working out for you okay?

i really liked the style. i'm a plain 5-spoke kind of guy. that and i didn't want to get saleen/bullit/cobras because i see them all the time.

Got to post up pics. Should look pretty sweet on your silver stang.

got home late from work. they're on. two thoughts. i should have gotten at least 255's and i really need to lower my car...

pics will come tomorrow, hopefully.

 

[HuskerGT]

Look forward to seeing them installed.

i have no issues with the rears at all. im probably gonna uprade from a 245 up front to a 265, fels like it needs more grip

 

[MyBoxersSayJoe]

feels like a smoother ride, maybe because of new tires as well, but my old rims have had almost 10 years of abuse.

rained tonight, plus i had a dinner to speak at. if it's clear tomorrow there will be plenty of pics. starting to wonder if i should powdercoat the centers black.

my reasoning for 245's based on drive ratio and weight.

i got used to my 275's i had on some 03 cobra 17x9s up front.. damn extra weight, buy more bolt ons was my reasoning :hammer:

holy shit i need to drop the car. any suggestions? lower, but don't want to give up comfort. it's a DD.

i have the eibach prokit nd im pleased with it, nice stance and dont scrape speedbumps at all.

wheels look excellent on your car man :thumb: i look at ur pics, how nice and shiny clean urs are and then i glance outside at my stang and realize how dirty mine are... :hammer: wet weather sucks

 

[MyBoxersSayJoe]

lol thanks for the compliments!

unfortunately it's still like 30-40 degrees out and i haven't cleaned my car in almost a year. the power of rainwash @85 mph in torrential downpoor. only hydroplained twice.

took pictures of the foglights at night as well, but they didn't come out sharp at all. manual focus in the dark ftl.

 

[Matt94GT]

prokit if you want a drop but nothing too drastic I had it, wasnt quite low enough for me but looked wayyy better then stock and I didnt have problems bottoming out ever.

 

[thorco3]

wow, those look awesome on there bro.

I ran 245's up front and 275's out back when I owned them :hammer:

great looking set of wheels imo. I'd suggest H&R super sports but I'm biased.
