Put a set of Weld Racing RTS 17x4 and 15x10 wheels on my 2012 Lava Red Mustang GT. The fronts I went with M&H 185/55/17 and the rears I went with 28x11.50x15 Hoosier Quick Time Pros. Stops easier, accelerates quickes and steers with less effort. The weight of the 19" Bright Machined Premium wheels with the Perilli Pzero-nero tires where 60lbs each for a total of 240lbs. The front RTS wheels were 32lbs each and the rear Hoosiers were 39lbs each. Total weight of 142lbs which is a 98lb. weight savings. Thats not factoring in the rotational mass reduction. I went with the BMR swaybar relocation kit as well. I also tinted the headlights,all 4 marker lights,taillights and third brake light. Hope you guys like!!!

Now I just need to lower the front a little without affecting weight transfer for the track. I can't weight to get the cowl hood for it.

Looks great. Its been hard to find a set of springs that works with the 28"-26" combo and looks good. I just recently put on a set of steeda "Boss" springs and happy with how it sits. The car sits even, compared to the last set i had in which the back was way up with the track setup. This was with the Eibach pro kit on mine

The fronts are 18x6 and rear 15x10

Hood choices would be either 4" Cervini's or the FRPP Cobra Jet hood. I would like to base the car off the 2013 5.0 Cobra Jet without the decals. Not an exact replica just similar.

Thanks!!! It's a work in progress. I installed BMR lower control arms too. Need to buy SCT programmer and get Shaun at AED to work his magic then I can install some more of my other parts I have stock piled :)
