AMR Wheels Installed today!

[PhantomX]

A big thanks to Scott_o here sent me a kick ass set of AMR wheels. Arrived today and of course right on the car. Stagger setup with 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rears. 275 BFG sport comp 2's on the front and 305 Nitto NT 05R's on the back. Absolutely loving it!

Here are a couple quick pics some better ones to come tomorrow

Can't wait to see how well the Nittos hook! I think I'm gonna pop out the centers and put the stock mustang logo ones in.

Congrats, funny though, visually those wheels look smaller on your car than the black set of staggered 19's I have on my own car.

What springs do you have??

 

[Nocturnal'14]

Awesome looking...I have seen a car like this (Color/wheel combo) and it too looked really good!
Id love to have a set if I could get them gloss coated! Any idea what the weight on them were?

 

[Bgoins]

Looks great! I'm also curios on your spring/shock setup

 

[clc44]

What are the exact sizes of the tires? Looks great!

 

[RAZRS EDGE]

Looks good! For being cheapies, they're great to just run around on. I bought the same ones for mine when I am not running my Champion beadlocks and weld fronts.

 

[scott_0]

they look great on your car dude! glad youre happy with them. I thought 275's would look bigger on the front, I was running 255's and though they bulged a little. btw, as far as I know, stock Mustang wheel caps wont just pop in, theyll have to be modified to fit.......

 

[clc44]

Also, is that stock ride height?

 

[GTtoSVT]

He is lowered on BMR springs

 

[gimmie11s]

looks great... what do these wheels weigh?

 

[PhantomX]

I think about 2x lbs. They felt a little lighter than the stockers but not much.... As GTtoSVT said I'm on BMR springs and panhard. Front tires are 275/40/19 BFG Sport Comp 2's and the back is 305/25/19 NT05R's. The ride quality on the BMR springs is amazing so close to stock and no harshness I don't even realized it's lowered. Stock shocks still.

Here's a couple more pics of it all cleaned up.

 

[gimmie11s]

looks great... what model wheel?

How do the 05r's hook?

 

[PhantomX]

They hook great in the dry, a little sketchy in the wet but manageable. The Wheels are AMR, not sure model...

Advantages/Disadvantages to staggered setups? BTW OP car looks great.

 

[nast97]

Disadvantages are you can't rotate your tires, but the advantage is looking great and having big meats on the rear! Real mean run staggered lol

 

[Nocturnal'14]

Theres no way you could run as wide a tire in the front and as rear....so the staggered allows you to really put some wide tires on the rear to help hook. You can run a 285 up front but has to be the right offset.

OP The wheels/car looks great!
The 19x8.5" Fronts weigh 26.9lbs
19x10 rear is 27.1 lbs

So I didn't like the 275 BFG/Nitto combo on the car. On these rims for some reason that rolled out a bit on the side wall and followed all the lines in the road. And for some reason they just didn't look right, couldn't put my finger on it. So I ordered some new fronts. 255/40/19 Nitto Invo's. Much better. Looks a lot better to me because they sit flush on the rim and they ride better and are much much gripier than the BFG's. Overall it was an expensive experiment but in the end I'm happy with the result.

here's a quick shot of it just after install

And the new Invo's

 

[scott_0]

yeah man, I was thinking those 275's are pretty big for an 8.5" wheel, even a 255 bulges slightly, atleast my Mickey Thompson Street Comps did

 

[PhantomX]

Yeah good call Scott. Just didn't set right on that rim. Looked ok on the stock rims I had but not these I'm much happier now. I get just a tiny bit of shake in the wheel about 55mph but nothing to annoying, otherwise very smooth and about what I expected for an inexpensive wheel. I'll keep these on for awhile and save up for some Forgestars or something super slick. I'm thinking of doing a bunch of Carbon Fiber parts on the car as well then going with a black wheel. Thinking CF splitter, hood vents, diffusor and GT500 spoiler. Should look sick when its all done.
