Not a bad choice but yeah you'll need a drop ASAP. You should autox it more. I would have got 285s all the way around. That way you can at least rotate. It's not like you're putting DRs on the rear or anything. At least that way you have a balanced set up.

can go wrong with free, i run the drifts as well in 19's with 275's square setup. It wasnt free, but i got a good deal.

Yeah, I should have went with 285s all around I suppose. But, I initially was going to go with 275s all the way around; so, at least I got a little more rubber out back. And also, putting 285s all the way around would have cost me another $75 and I really, really wanted to keep my wheel/tire setup under $1400.
I know one thing though - my drifts and nittos will perform a hell of a lot better than the 235 stockers that initially came on my 5.0. Haha
Thanks for all the help, guys.

What about the TPMS?
I'm trying to figure out how to get that done and not have to buy a new $200 set.

I skimped on TMPS. I am used to checking my tire pressure very frequently though. Old habit. Headed to pick up my wheels. I'll post pics when I get them on.

I love the wheels and tires but not the look of the car right now. It desparately needs to be lowered. LIKE BAD! I just need to figure out which lowered setup will enable the wheels/285 tires to turn fully without rubbing.
Also, don't mind my wife........ lol

sportlines, H&R SS or coilovers.
Car needs to come down quite a bit to loose that wheel gap.
Looks good.
