    Thanks Ken, when I got it wet and all the dust washed off I noticed a few more little dings/dents that need some attention, I was planning on paint next week but now I have a clutch issue to work out first, just trying to get to the paint before it gets too cold, those wheels are from a 2007 Shelby Cobra.

    Looks good! What size are the wheels/tires and what size spacers dd you need front/back? Those year mustangs have 4.5" bolt circle? I'm asking because my buddy found a similar set from an '08 and wants to know if he can use them on his maverick.

    Thanks for the props!!
    I don't know about lowering it yet, getting old you know so getting down and up is getting to be a challenge :rofl2: won't really know till the new seats go in.

    They are 245/50/R16, yep they have the 5X4.5 bolt pattern, I went with a 1" spacer all around but could have done 1/2" I think, they were just a little close to the upper A arm for me, don't think I am gonna keep the 50's on the front, might have an issue with them hitting the fender/valence, on another note the brakes feel awesome, I feel like I can stop on a dime!!(y)

    I figured they were 17's. I think my sons '06 came with 17's.
