So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[GotGrip?]

Nice choice. Matte black? Chrome?


If I can't find a decent set of 5 spokes, I might go with those in matte black.

I went with silver, it was hard to decide but I like the look I have just wanted to change the wheel style.

Well, nix the wheels, vendor just called and apparently Miro recently went out of business and all their wheels flew off the shelf with the black friday deals and they don't have enough stock. BACK TO THE SEARCH!

Are the TE37’s a contender? Very clean wheel with good offsets and a great track record for quality.

They are/were, ESR is the next best thing assuming that the load rating lines up (waiting to hear back)

EDIT: Just heard back, they set me up with ESR SR07s 19x9.5 +35, I should have them by friday they said.

And they look great and fit perfect!!! An XSport, I know, but fit the same as an SHO, and would likely look even better as the SHO sits lower



Sold those (actually had em listed here at the time) and changed to Advan GT Premiums:

I was just looking at those! They are pretty sexy.
[mention]Ecoboost_xsport [/mention] you are 100% the reason I thought of the TE37’s. The import fanboy in me was so excited.

Same here, LOL...but also, they are the absolute lightest weight production wheels (in 20") you can buy currently (outside of something carbon fiber) and that is a huge thing for me...

Are you compensating for something . You said the Advan’s are even lighter? Or was it the tire choice that ended up being lighter?

LOL, I'm always compensating.

Yes, the Advans are 20x11 and come in at 21lbs, the Volks were 20x10 and weighed 23lbs. BUT, the tires I have now are 3lbs heavier than the tires I had before 38lbs vs 35lbs) so I basically cancelled out my weight savings for more contact patch. I'm on the hunt for drag radials in 305/40-20 (none currently exist, 305/35 is WAY too short of a tire) as that'll get me a better size and they are usually a bit lighter...

Ok my mechanic sent me these pictures of the PPE catted downpipes is as high as it'll go before it hits the bottom of the engine can anyone see anything different from yours that you installed

I think they are upside down. J/K

Does Nitto make NT-01’s in the size you desire? Can you drop down to an 18x10/11” to get the proper tire height for a drag radial?

The Nitto NT555R extreme drag radial comes in a 305/45/18. Sam contact patch with more sidewall flex and a lower center of gravity.
Food for thought, but with your exhaustive research I imagine you have already come across this option.

Can you bolt it up without the secondary piece attached?

Bolted to the front turbo then as you lift it where the exhaust is in the picture you it won't go any higher

The issue is, I have the TCE 15" brake rotors...I MIGHT be able to fit 19" wheels (and that's really, really close to the caliper, like practically rubbing), but 20" wheels is what I have now and not going to buy a set of 19s just for a drag pack. So I'm stuck with 20" tires to hunt for...and not many in that size for the truck/suv market. I'm a bit surprised that Nitto, M/T, Toyo don't make drag radials for 20" wheels for trucks/SUVs as there have been high horsepower larger vehicles coming onto the market the last few years (Raptor, Trackhawk, etc)

So...I'm keeping my fingers crossed Nitto releases some NT05Rs in 305/40-20 in the first quarter of next year. (I called them to inquire and they said they release their new upcoming sizes at that time each year). Not holding my breath, but maybe I'll be lucky, lol...

Got up this morning to find this! I've check my security cam from when I got home up till this morning... I can't see anyone approaching my car. Gas level looks normal and I don't see any signs of someone trying to pour anything into the tank. I'm 99% sure that it was closed when I got home, since I was checking out my tint job last night.

This is crazy and I'm starting to think the tint job is turning out to be a curse!
