Guest XR666TURBO Guests Posted 02/01/06 06:17 AM Share Posted 02/01/06 06:17 AM Oh, and also... does lowering the vehicle cause either any problems with handling & performance or warranty?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR666TURBO Guests Posted 02/01/06 09:57 AM Share Posted 02/01/06 09:57 AM I'm guessing either no one knows... or cares??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running 265 & 275/30/19 tyres and the ride is firmer than what it was with the stock (235/45/17) tyres.Warranty shouldn't be an issue with the new wheels.

Guest XR666TURBO Guests Posted 02/01/06 10:12 AM Share Posted 02/01/06 10:12 AM Thanks for your advice M6 XR6T. Im guessing that a "firmer" ride is a better one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try BBS, Simmons and ROH wheels - prices for 19's range from $700 - $1100 each excluding rubber. You can spend upwards of $300 - $800 per tyre too.With that in mind, why not see your local tyre reseller and see what they can do for you.

Guest XR666TURBO Guests Posted 02/01/06 10:17 AM Share Posted 02/01/06 10:17 AM Well, I was looking at getting 5 x 18"x8" Alloy wheels that Ford has to offer, but after much talk, I thought I'd go after market with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be able to sell off your factory rims and get some of your money back from buying the aftermarkets. I would go 18" plus, but get something unique rather than your average amg quakes, or rjr blades that are on sale at bob jane t marts :DHappy choosing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
