[nortex]

This will be slow but wanted to get started. I got my 03 tfr on monday and has been great so far. Its a limited v8.
Cleaned it
Side exit tip
Tinted back reflectors.
To be done
Ordered a daystar 2.5/1.5 today and will go on when I find tires.

Not to many of these murdered out, just saying.

Crossed my mind but I think a machined wheel

Welcome to the forum. Great find on the truck!

I had the same debate when i got my wheels. I really like the black wheels, but it seems like everybody is running them. I ended up getting the Machine finish wheels and have been very pleased.

Welcome and good luck on your build! Look forward to watching it come along

 

[nortex]

I threw some 5th gens on today.

I have a daystar setup coming from a member and a set of 275/55 coopers

 

[nortex]

Ds 2.5/1.5 and bfg rugged terrain 265/70. Next is taking the pinstripe off

 

[momo.75]

Looks really good. You will love those tires. Now you need some Spidertrax...:trophy:

 

[IndigoPlateau]

what size are those 5th gen wheels/tires?

 

[nortex]

20s. 245/65/20
Sov far im loving it

 

[jaybird93000]

you could keep the pinstripe! I think the white pinstripes on a black runner look great! Good choice on tires, know several guys with them and they all have good things to say about them!

 

[AleksV]

I love the way 5th gen limited rims look on our 4th gens. You keeping them?

 

[nortex]

I never get off the pavement but do pull a trailer and wanted something both aggressive and highway friendly. I sold the 5th gens. Little to narrow and big for me

 

[nortex]

I need wheels or spacers

 

[momo.75]

Keep an eye on the classified section. People put their Spidertrax on there but they sell very quickly. You can also check the Spidertrax site. From time to time they will sell some of their spacers that might have some blemishes on them. One other place is Motorsport Tech. They sell some of theirs on ebay under the brand BORA spacers. I had a set of the Spidertrax 1.25" at one point, as well as a set of the BORA .75". They are both hub centric spacers and very quality products.

 

[nortex]

No boards or flaps

 

[nortex]

Momo came thru with a set of spacers. Next is painted rack and tails. Audio came in today so ill finish that up.

 

[momo.75]

Cool man. Glad those worked out for you. You are going to really like the look with those on there! Can't wait to see the pics......:bravo:

Sitting all alone at work

Looks good.

On a separate note is that a real video store or cover for a porn video selection?
