Mashup: Turbomac and Titan = Perfection

[M-Sport fan]

The Federal 595 Evos, including shipping, are a good deal less costly than those Kumhos (even after the current rebates), and at 240 tread wear, are not a track type tire by any means (and actually have a decent water evacuating tread pattern), although they probably will wear quicker than the 400 tread wear PS31s.

Being .5" wider in tread width, (but only .1" wider in section width, and .1" shorter in height) I can see where you might fear some rubbing with a 40 ET, as even I might be close with a 42 ET using the Evos on my wheels.

I just was leaning on the safe side, rubbing was my biggest concern. I saw others on the site that had 38mm - 40mm offset with around 8" wide tread width tires that had issues so went a little narrower. Also being on lowering springs and not coilovers, I didn't have any way to adjust ride height...safe than sorry...

Yes, I believe that is it. Went on easy for me. Some had issues and used heat gun to slightly bend to fit. Comes with cleaning wipe and 3m tape. I still love it.

Bga6 asked about how the color compared to stock wheels...slightly darker...still may be hard to tell from photos. Hope this helps...

They look so good! Did you have those center caps custom painted or are they from another model or something?

Love the wheels!

They are metal stickers that I found on eBay. Really good quality, made to fit some other Ford center caps. Bent them slightly to fit the curve of the caps, alcohol wiped, heated them up a bit with a hairdryer and applied them.

I feel your pain. Been holding off on the springs until the rear shocks arrive, but now I'm feeling antsy, since these guys are now saying May on those. Thinking of putting in the springs and front struts tomorrow.
