Thanks dude. It was a game time decision between those wheels and the brushed titanium F14's for my G. The only thing I didn't like was the multicolored spokes but on your car it doesn't look as bad as I thought. The concavity is very sweet too.

Got any BBK upgrade plans?

No plans for BBK yet... still saving for exhaust.

Thanks man. Looks like I may have gone a bit too aggressive on the front. I was trying to avoid the poke but it looks like you've got a little going on there.

I'll be running 9.5" +15 with 255's on the front and 10" +20 with 275's on the rear.

^ you may want to run spacers in the rear, your fronts are going to seem more aggressive then your rears which may look weird.


btw flyz do you mind if i take that rear shot pic? I often get people asking to see a pic of the fender roll finished product and im to lazy to take a good one lmao.

Don't really want to deal with the hassle of running spacers. I'll probably just run 285's in the rear if it really bothers me after a while.

When you guys rolled it, did you coat the fenders to prevent rust? If so what'd you use? Seems like the rolling would hold dirt and debris in between the fender and accelerate the issue, no?

If the paint isnt already rusted then when rolling the fenders the paint doesn't crack if you know what your doing. I clean the inside of the lip and once rolled nothing can really get in there. Regardless if dirt does somehow, the inner fenders aren't bare metal, they have a coating on them which isnt removed.

Nice looking setup. I miss my G sometimes... these cars look great with the right things done to them, or left stock.

Which is why I really have to think hard when I mod this thing. I ask myself is it actually going to make it better than OEM. With the Ford Gen Max basically anything was a MASSIVE upgrade haha.

+1. Looks like the fronts are stretched a bit. Stretch more on the front than rear?

EDIT: BTW car looks really good.
