Lol, mudguards are straight OEM! Nah prolly soon though... I think future plans consist of pulling fenders and trying to go x11. Not sure yet though.

Only mods are fenders are rolled.. NOT PULLED... but they do rub on certain bumps depend on how big the bump is nothing major.... And my ride height is prolly anywhere between 2" - 2.5" drop more or less...

EDIT:: and correction tires are 225/35 front and 235/35 in the rears... Sorry about that guys

Congrats on new wheel setup I like the Saleen wheel setup. Would love to run 18x10 all around with mid 40's offset.

waking up this post from the dead haha


I have a question for op.
By the way, your car looks great with the saleens.
IIRC, that's the front 18x9 that are +24 ?
since i've viewed your post yesterday, i want a setup like your's on my 05 base black tl, but was wondering if i could go with the 18x9 on all corners? i'm on Tein S-tech 1.2-1.3 drop springs, and also want to know if 235/40 would fit all around...
it would be my setup for next summer

you'd need to roll your rear fenders
235/40 all around should be fine

ok fine thx. I was looking at saleen replica's since there is a bunch of it on eBay.
I've seen replicas with +30 offset, would it be easyer to fit all around?
or i just go with +24 like original...

30 would be much easier to fit. my wheels and tires are 1mm more outboard than the +24 setup and i was rubbing with 235/40 tires and rolled fenders. with the +30 setup you will have no issues with 234/40

With the 18 x 9 +30 he could fit a 245 with no roll, and a 255 with a slight roll. I looked at these wheels myself, but they don't make them in the optimal size for me (18 x 10 +50).

These wheels look fantastic! They look so much better on the TL than they do on a mustang.

thx a lot
I'm wondering if with the +30 instead of 24, the concave effect that make those wheels awesome, will be more fade? the white from op is magnificient with those wheels, really want saleen replicas for mine
