2011 GT500

Suspension:
Ford Racing Handling Package with Sways
1.25" drop front and rear
Rebound setting is in the middle.

Wheels and tires
Front:
Wheel: 20 x 10" True Forged Chicane
Tire: 275/35 20" Nitto 555 G2

Rear:
Wheel: 20 x 11" True Forged Chicane
Tire: 305/35 20" Nitto 555R

The ride is really nice, I like it better than stock and she feels more planted.
The wheels do not rub whatsoever. Steve @ True Forged really knows his stuff.
The quality is amazing.

Here are some pics:

What's the offset on the wheels?

^^ SoddyRebel, Dude fantastic looking ride. I have a '14 bright red and plan to install a similar set. Do you know if DF5's will fit in the front with the Brembo factory brakes?

thanks, they will clear the brembo brakes according to lmr's website

Ok, great. The other question I have for you and all the guys with 20's, maybe I'm getting old (I'm 32), but don't you have issues with 20's getting bent from going over potholes, unexpected you name it in the road? I assume it all depends on what tire you go with (which, by the way, what sizes did you go with front and back if you don't mind me asking?).

havent had any problems with bent wheels, just gotta pay attention to the road. My front tires are 255/35/20 and the rears are 275/35/20

Soddy,

Sorry, one last question. Do you happen to have a side view pic? I read that the 10" wide wheels in the DF-5's stick out beyond the fender just slightly. I'd love to see a pic of it if it's actually true. PA has fairly strict inspection regs on this. Thanks again!

sry for the late reply, they are pretty even with the fenders.

They look absolutely fantastic. If you decide (for some reason or other) to sell them in the near future, definitely let me know.
