[lax22pearl]

[goon punch 3]

I'm pretty new here 1st post but this looks really good. I was just talking to a few friends about how I was looking for mustang wheels to put on my car there goes that plan lol. You did it right that's for sure.

[joshb]

Shit's Weak.





























Jk broseph Can't wait to see this shit lower and in person.

[jdhiatt]

What kind of camber specs do you have?

[OSSHWA]

Why do those Mustang wheels look so sick on everything! There was a slammed Camry @ a meet that I was at yesterday rocking a set of those.....looked awesome.

[jdhiatt]

Quick Hijack

Hi Josh. I got rid of the Tiburon for a '10 MS3. Figured I'd let you know why I am on here. Lol.

[AustinY]

Not sure on exact numbers for camber specs but I'm maxed in the front with the bc camber plates, and probably around 4-5 in the back with Dominant Engineering Camber Arms, should be getting an alignment soon so I'll tell you what they say its at.

and yeah guys I'm glad I managed to be the first (that I've seen or heard of) with mustang wheels on a 3

OEM++++ lmao

[jdhiatt]

Ok thanks man. Just making sure my setup will be okie dory. I appreciate it!

Nice job on fitting the stang wheels.

[shaggylemur]

I like them but i loved the cream

[Mazdatenza604]

Austin give me a call...I have a job offer for you that you can't refuse.














Like a little girl.

[NotLowEnough]

These look awesome but I think the cream looked better.

[AustinY]

Cool Shaggy, I don't have the fund to afford multipiece wheels such as the cream ones right now so..

And Alex called you.

[clun9]

Wow, they look pretty decent dude...

I haven't even looked at your thread in M3F yet.

[chefsp0t]

I love your shaved hatch man. That's definitely on my list too. The new wheels look good too. Get them dialed in!

[AustinY]

That's what I'm trying to do man, I'm happy with the rear and working on the front, after I lower the front I might pull out the rear perch as well

[AustinY]

A few pictures from a drift event / car show last night, took best import and my buddies GTI got best all around, woop woop.

[lax22pearl]

more camber! front and rear.

[AustinY]

can't have any more in the front until someone releases some LCA's

[lax22pearl]

why? what size are your tires?

[AustinY]

Right now they're 205/45s but this week in gettin the 205/40s, what does that have to do with camber though?

[lax22pearl]

it doesnt. lol. sorry. it will just look better with the smaller tires. should go 195/40's

[AustinY]

nah chill 205/40 is enough for me haha, 10mm drop!!

[lax22pearl]

itll look good with more stretch though!
