Went down to the garage and looked at it. Turned around and went back upstairs. It's raining here in southern Ontario. However, only 16 days until Whipple install! Then I get to see whether these 20s and Steeda springs are going to be a problem and whether I have to swap to my stock HP...

Thanks. More trying to see if my existing 20” rims and tires will fit or whether I have to slap some PS4 on my stock HP rims

Thanks Paul. I am more concerned about the added weight causing some spring sag. @tj@steeda are you aware of anything like that for the Sport Progressives + 20" rims + whipple stage 1?

You will be fine. Especially if you did some sort of Ceramic coating or what not. Just be cognizant of the areas you are washing and the pressure with which you are running your wash rag over the corners. I use a pressure washer and a hand mit and have never had any problems. I have PPF but...

There is no rubbing right now. In fact, Chris Cervenka (sp) runs the same rims on the dual rate springs which lower the car another half an inch already. Although I think he is running a 275 though. I am keeping my stock handling pack rims and Trofeo tires just in case, but those won’t make it...

LEFT is the stock HANDLING PACK tire on the front RIGHT is the one I have on there now.

Go here: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/2024-dark-horse-premium-chassis-and-name-tbd-my-build-journal.162026/ They are 20" VF10s in Satin Black

I got into a discussion on the "What did you do to your S650 today?" thread however felt it better over here. I have a whipple stage 1 being installed in about 3 weeks. I'm currently lowered on Steeda Sport Progressives and have 20" Velgen VF10 wheels with Nitto tires. Wondering if this...

Correct. I'm more worried about the clearance. From what I am told, the supercharger adds a net 150(ish) lbs once you take off and add other parts etc. That might make the front sag a bit more and it's already like maybe a finger between the tire and the wheelwell lip. And to keep this post on...

So this is the front end lowered on 20"s without the whipple.

Works for me. I'm getting the FP Whipple Stage 1 in less than 3 weeks so am good with that. Are you lowered at all and running what rims / tires? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to swap out my 20s after the whipple install. I haven't seen any Steeda cars with a whipple and 20s :X

This is on my TO DO LIST. We will have to see what is what. Originally it was going to be this year but I'm looking at stepping down to 19" rims (my stock HP Dark Horse rims) and new PS4 tires which may push the half shafts and driveshaft until next year. How are those FP rated ones? I thought...

Gotcha. I'm looking at these Firestone Indy 500 tires to put on my stock Handling Pack rims (10.5" and 11"). I will know more once the Whipple is installed later this month. If the front sits too low I may have to step down to a 19" rim and sell my Velgens :(

Watching! I'm about to go through this is another 19 days LOL

Thanks @agreywolfe ! Looks like I may order a set of these Firestone Indy 500 as they perform decent for the price and can certainly survive a 3000+ km trip (with 1000km of that probably being driven a little frisky)

Hey All, With my upcoming road trip been debating on swapping out my 20" VF5 (20x10 and 20x11) for the Dark Horse Handling Pack wheels (19x10.5 and 19x11) Since my stock Trofeo will never make it there and back been wondering about the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires; specifically concerned...

Here are my front tires compared to the image of the spare on their site which is a 135/70R19

That would be my initial go to. I have a Vevor 1.5T floor jack that I can take with me as well as torque wrench and 3T Jack stand (use these for my gf pilot so they are overkill for the Mustang). The only real spare tire kit that I found that even mentioned "Will work with 20" rims" is this one...
