    YearOne 17inch Magnum
    « on: January 18, 2013 - 11:55:10 PM »
    In case anyone is interested in seeing these on a car... I just put them on my Gran Coupe.  17x8 out front, 17x9 out back.  BF Goodrich G-Force tires, 245/45 in front, 275/40 in back.  No clearance issues, the wheels were nicer than I imagined and look fantastic.  I did have to return one that had a ding in the lip when I got it, but YearOne replaced it without issue and didn't even have to wait to get the damaged one back before they shipped the new one.

    Car is recovering after taking a hit from Sandy... thanks to classic car insurance.  The rocker mouldings will be back on soon.  Let me know what you think.

    I've had that style wheel on a couple of older mustangs, and I have to say they look fantastic with the all black car, just fits perfectly.  All else being equal I'd like a slightly taller tire especially on the back but not sure whats available that would fit.  Looking good, congrats!

    Later, Jim

    So how does it handle now?  Big, little, or no difference, ride harshness and cornering...

    I'll let you know once we get the snow and ice melted here... have not had a chance to take her out. After this I added a firm feel rear sway bar and sector support kit as well.  Really interested in how she feels now.

    HUGE improvement, and the stage II steering box from Firmfeel is on the way.
