How much are you lowered total? For stock ride height, with the +24 offset and the 235's would you forsee rubbing issues?

Nice wheels. I looked them up and they are listed at 31 pounds each. Did you notice a significant effect on the cars performance due the how heavy they are?

Lexxium, I tried to send you a PM but it says you don't allow them. Send me an email if you could...piratebaseball8@hotmail.com I want to ask you a question or two about suspension.

Actually, that may be shipped weight. I am looking at fr500s and they claim 31 lbs in some places. I then called a distributor to confirm, and they said they happened to have weighed them the day before and they are 24lbs for an 18x9 and 26 lbs for 18x10 (painted, not chrome). Still not light, but not 31 lbs either.

I had 18x10's with 274/45's on the rear of my 95 SC bone stock automatic 1jz smoked the tires into 2nd gear from a dead stop, i didn't notice any performance loss from the heavy wheels, with daily driving.

Nice. I'm looking to order some FR500s soon. Still struggling between black chrome and standard chrome I found them in some offsets that I think will work well without having to run crazy camber or pull fenders: 18x9 +36 front and 18x10 +45 rear.

Lexxium, did you use any hub centric rings for these? If so, what size. I believe stock mustang bore is 70.5 (I might be wrong) Anyway, what inner and outer diameter rings did you use?
