Default New wheels for the Mustang

Thanks to Jon and Justin from DriverzInc for getting these to us in time for RTTH. We mounted them tonight and we are leaving tomorrow morning.

They are Vintage wheel works V45's 17x9's with a 4" bs all the way around. Tires are Nitto NT05 255/40.

Before and after
These were 15's. We needed something with a softer compound and no 15" tires were soft enough


with the 17's...







See you guys at RTTH

Its stock control arms, with the lowered upper control arm mounts (similar to the guldstrand mod), drop springs, and koni shocks. The front and rear fenders were flared and stretched a little.

The old tires were 265's and they didn't rub at all. We still have 2" of room in the back but it's nice to be able to rotate the tires.

The rear is reversed eyed multi leafs with a watts link and koni shocks.

Excellent choice ...just curious why you didn't choose the straight-spoke V40's with that year Mustang.

Either way,looks killer.

Looks good. I would like to get some more information on your set up, I am running 225/45/17 and 245/45/17. The fronts rub and I'd like wider in the rear.

Car looks really good, and the 17's are a perfect size.
