No haven't done it yet but looking at it I can visually tell we're both running too much camber in the rear... but with the 10.5's I wanna run a little extra camber... Matt's the same way... They both need camber kits...

No I haven't done it yet, they are sitting on my kitchen counter in a zip lock bag. I pulled them out of the stocks just haven't found a shop I'm comfortable with to break the Vossen's down and rebalance them yet.

Yeah let me know I really need to get them put in, Since we have to add air to the fronts every couple of days. It would be nice to just hit the button and know if it needs it or not on the screen... FYI 245/30/20 P= Zero's are to small on the front. Go with atleast a 35 series. Taking corners semi hard we are getting air seeping at the bead it's just streched to far with that small of a sidewall..

Very cool thread, man...love your posts. Well thought out and written and the car is flawless.

Where in FL? Acura of Pembroke Pines have some enthusiast techs I'd trust with the wheels. I can tell you who to ask for.

Thanks for all the props on the Photography guys. I need to get back out and shoot it some more I haven't done it in a while. It's about time to break down and go get an alignment the fronts are starting to get a little camber walk due to wear. It wants to pull one way then when you correct it pulled super hard the other way. You can tell as it turns one tire is flatter than the other. So guessing i'm gonna go install the TPMS at a friends house (gotta love tire machines in the garage) then go get balanced and aligned and see how far the rear is cambered in. Still having issues with air leaking from the beads on the front from the stretch on 30 series on the fronts. Can't wait till she wears these out and can bump them up to a 35 in the front and 30 series in the rear.

On brighter note I'm trying to pick up a new toy to put in the garage, thinking it's time to turn the T-Bucket into an AC Cobra and no that's not a Mustang with Air check out the google images.

I love your skills. And your car.
Oh, I know what an AC Cobra is...I know it well. Actually, one of the mechanics at one of our yards has an original one in perfect condition. Well, he did until some kid tboned him. It was going to cost like 80K to fix.

Thanks Man! and glad to know someone else knows what i'm wanting. I was talking about wanting one on the F150 page and they all thought I wanted a Mustang with Air... was quite funny...

The rolling shots do look great but standing still I'm really not feeling the wheel/tire combo, just too much stretch for me but if you like it power to ya.

I was 100% against stretching too till I learned why it's done... it gives the room needed for the fender to come down on the tire without rubbing... If you don't stretch you can't stuff a 10.5 in the rear...
