when i first saw it i thought to myself "this looks like something you'd draw when you were 12"... figured i'd get tired of it and stay in mustang land where i normally play. GT500 goes DCT(zero manual option) and this ZLE look keeps wearing on me...the want never subsided lol
I appreciate it! I don’t need it either but it was a fun project. Maybe I’ll hit the track......Pocono raceway is only 15 mins from me. I have another issue now. All 4 tires are leaking air. Bringing it back today

Did you check to see if the valve stem inside cores are tight? Sometimes if they aren’t then air can leak out there.

The valve cores were checked. My detailer took off one of the wheels (the worst one) and sprayed the entire thing down with soap. We could not find a single bubble. They swapped the air out for Nitrogen........so far so good. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow if they are still leaking. Is it possible that the rims are defective?

You really think you would get 4 defective rims? I highly doubt it.
Your car looks great. You’ll find the pressure issue shortly I’m sure. Then all will be good my friend👍

Thanks man! I guess the tires have a better chance of being defective. They are not that old so it's probably not them

Car looks amazing. I agree the ZLE looks very aggressive and angry.

Here did you get the wheels from?

I hit a pothole HARD a couple days after getting my MP4S installed and immediately started slowly losing air...went straight to my local discount tire(they’re awesome) and they had a gigantic bowl of water they press it down into to check for bubbles. Turns out i busted a seam in the tire, not bent the wheel..they are pretty tough

Surprising

I’ve read 2 years ago somewhere on this forum that the 19’’ Rims don’t fit the MRC unless you cut some metal at the upper part of the MRC to make some clearance...

Tires will leak sometimes if there is dirt or contamination around the rim bead seal. I have had this happen and unmounting the tires, cleaning the rims and remounting fixed it.

food for thought

I agree. The wheels stick out significantly more than the ZL1 wheels

I bought the rims from the dealer and the tires came from a place called Jack Williams. The tires lost 15psi just from sitting around in the shop

They fit if you are running on the stock alignment. No spacers or grinding required.

I never thought about that. My detailer pumped up the tires with 32 psi of nitrogen yesterday. Today, the tires were reading between 30psi and 31psi.
