Default H&R Springs and FR1's

It's all coming together!
I still can't believe Ferrada sponsored the car!
Conpelted the photo shoot with an amazing photographer on Sunday so awesome pics soon to come!

Follow me on IG @punisherftype for more pics and build updates.

I still plan on doing pulleys, tune and intake on this before years end.

Don't use them as wallpaper just yet! I will have the photographers edited pics by the end of the week and I'll be sure to share.
As for the wheels, they are Ferrada FR1's, 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear wrapped in toyo proxes, 255/35 front and 295/30 rear

Wheels really show well on the lowered car. I think concave simple spoke look great on this car. Looking forward to more photos.

I did, they have a choice of which ever wheel but I always liked these the best. There is another post of a guy with some AG wheels similar to the FR4's and I was not a huge fan

Sorry in advance, but SNIP, capture, save as use as background - good enough for me!

Your car is a work of art for sure.

With a driveway like mine, even w/o snow (Portland just got a foot last night - about the most in 40 years) - I'd have to move to have a lowered FT.

What offset are your wheels? Any rubbing?

Down the road if Accuair made a kit for the F-type I'd consider it. Low to the ground and then stock height or higher with the press of a button.

I LOVE the lowered look.

I have mine ready to go! Going to put them on the car tonight.

To try to make them easier to clean, I applied, 'CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection' last night. Hope it works!

I noticed on IG that you are attempting to run a 10x10.5 up front? Does it fit?!??!! And if so please tell us the specs!

I should have all the details shortly!
Ferrada does not make the FR1 in 11.5 in our bolt pattern so today they are shipping the wheel to a machine shop to get drilled and I am hoping to have them this weekend or Monday.

I did take the wheels off and run the 10.5 in the front and it looked AGGRESSIVE. At full turn I can see where we may rub if we hit a bump (keep in mind car is almost 2" lower). This was with the 295/30 tires still on the wheel tho, which will get changed out once the new rims are in.

The other issue is that mine is a AWD model, meaning I have have half shafts that stick out from the center of my brakes. We will have to machine those down a little bit as well in order to fit the center cap.

Give me a few more days/a week tops and I will be posting pics and what issues we had to overcome (if any) to make it all work.

I think 10.5 front and 11.5 rear will look amazing once it's all done.

I'm interested to see it. I would love to run a 19x10 with 275's and 19x11 with 295's setup on my car that will soon have the H&R springs as well. I need something aggressive but functional. Sub'd to see your results!

So...it's amazing.
the 255 stretched on the 10.5 up front is a bit too much stretch for me, but I probably can't go wider than 265 up front or it would rub.
Min the rear the 295 on the 11.5 looks ok, but will probably bump it up to a 305 before too long.
10.5 +35 front and 11.5 +30 rear with a close to 2" drop.
old front rims (20x9 +35) are for sale!
