10" wheels

[Wichers123]

It is a full orange but yea it has a metallic flake to it. Currently its 3 different colors but its real hard to tell.. Spend plenty of time trying to match lol


unsure of the main color. But one of the colors is Copperhead orange but the main color I will be using now to blend any new parts is actually a Lotus Orange

But yea does have some red in it. Lotus has small metallic flakes, the original color has very large metallic flakes and is hard to duplicate, so each time i get it matched it almost comes out different.



But yea, you shouldnt need to run 10'' up front unless your doing it for the hell of it. If its about tire size, its not needed.

That's not a true statement. To put a correct wheel to a correct tire is needed enough. I'll tell you right now your tire is TOO wide for the rim your running. With the correct width rim and the correct offset you won't have any problems

You're saying a 275 is too wide for a 17x9? What do you think the 03-04 Cobra's came with from the factory all the way around???

Edit: my response was for Wichers

LOL I know about tires man.. I know what I am running is not considered the norm. But it is capable of it and I have NO issues. But for someone to want to put a 10'' wide rim up front for a 275 tire or more is silly. Specially if its a DD and they have no reason to have such a large tire.

What you think was an untrue statement was not taken how I meant it. While yes the correct rim size is always needed. But there should be no reason to run a 10'' up front. except for the hell of it. and the only size ive seen mentioned in this post is a 275 for the front. So at that point, is a good size for a 9'' rim. So a 10'' would be pointless unless you were going with a much larger tire size. But again the bigger rim will pose more problems on the front of these cars more often then not. And I have proven how wide you can go up front. And I purposely run a 9'' because I didnt want to change size and did not want to run into even more problems if my "trying of a large size tire" backfired.
So my point is very valid. But I should have explained it right. But I have been busy writing tunes for cars at work.

Do you even know what size I am running?
Just so you know... its a 295 up front.. not 275.. on a 17x9... I understand what I am doing.. very much so

But you are right in the right rim width and offset/backspacing will always and should always be whats done and will help limit problems

wtf is goin on here with that ratchet placed on the paint?

 

[jwhisl]

The ratchet is placed on a hood that needs replacing. The whole front of the hood is cracked from left to right..... Don't worry the entire paint job is going to be restored in due time.

Back to the original topic; The only reason I am running 10" wheels on the front is that the set came this way. I challenge anyone to tell me that if they found a set of nearly perfect Saleen replicas for $150 that they wouldn't buy them because of their size

^ well there you go.. good enough reason for me!
