    First time buying new wheels....................

    Loosened the jam nuts, turned the center section clockwise till it was centered using my eyes and the mudflaps, then tightened the jam nuts. Used a 3 ton floor jack under the diff and jack stands but didn't set the diff on the stands, in place for safety. Everything seems good, took it out for a...

    Watched a vid of guy adjusting the pan hard bar to correct a off center diff situation pretty much the same issue I'm experiencing. Pretty confident I could do it myself.

    Yes it was lowered when I purchased it, came with the Ford Performance non adjustable handling pack. 100 ft. lbs. is the recommended torque spec. for the 14 GT.

    It bugs me out though, guess I didn't really notice it with the factory 245's and now more noticeable with a wider tire. Torqued all the lug nuts to 100 ft.lbs, believe the manual called for 105 but I'll double check before hitting the road. The tpms sensors required nothing, no warning light on...

    First time buying new wheels....................

    Yes I went 265 but I now have another issue, the left rear tire sticks out ever so slightly more than the right side. I removed all the factory push locks at the studs so it's not that. Guess I have a uncentered differential, or a wheel with an improper offset, or the body is tweaked. I'm going...

    Finally got them mounted, Goodyear wouldn't do it, Firestone did. They look great, sidewalls nice n square they look completely normal on these wheels. Guess Goodyear was concerned with damaging the wheels, Firestone crushed it, one little nick in the barrel, nothing on the outside at all. 135...

    According to Nitto the optimal tire width for a 9" wide wheel is 255, so I feel safe using a 265. I haven't spoken to anyone that has said a 265 is to wide for a 9" wide wheel. A 275 width seems to be a 50/50 response, what's your opinion? Surely Nitto is staying within guidelines, they're...

    Not sure how much my factory Gtcs wheels weighBut I’m confident they weigh a heck of a lot more than 23.5 pounds

    Yes - You Need an Oil Separator | Your Valves Will Thank You

    Went with the J&L passenger side separator, had to wiggle it in to get it to sit flush and had to pull the head sensor harness pushpin out so the canister wouldn't rub on it. The canister gets pretty darn hot and after a couple hours of spirited driving nothing, not even any film in the...

    First time buying new wheels....................

    I was a tough decision deciding on wheels, love the Forgestar's, I could swing fully forged but couldn't justify it, so I went Apex flow flormed SM10's 19x9 in Anthracite. Wheels are beautiful, weighing in at approximately 23.3 lbs, using a bathroom scale, extra material on the lip, unpainted...

    I guess you're right, I will eventually install one and tie in the driver's side with a T, with the catch can on the passenger side. No need for two of them.

    Yes - You Need an Oil Separator | Your Valves Will Thank You

    There's only suction on the passenger where it's connected to the pcv valve, no suction at all on the driver's side. So I guess it would only make sense to install one on the passenger side. I pulled it off while running some serious suction, installed it and ran it pretty hard for about 30...
