It's a Roller!!!

After a 2 month back order, thanks to the Chinese new year, my wheels showed up. I had the tires for a while (BF Goodrich T/A G-force KD's; 245/45/R17's up front and 315/35/R17's in the back) and waited and waited and waited for the wheels. These are knock-offs of a Ford FR-500 wheel; the Ford Racing wheel is only available in 18x9, these are 17x9 up front and 17x 10.5 in the rear to accomodate the 315's. With hind sight I wish I had started the wiring but I had a very one track mind and just kep working the frame.

I returned one of the rear tires, not once, but twice; when I received the tires they all had "cleets" on them but one rear tire and it had a small area that looked wore. After the second return and talking to a technical specialist at BF Goodrich I found out they use a balancing operation on some of their tires and what I was seeing was the result of that. The proof is in th puding so to speak as I found out when the tires were balanced and the one that looked wore slightly was just barely off and the other that had not signs of factory balancing took quite a bit more wheel weights (but nothing abnormal).

Prior to setting ride height or any weight I rolled it out for the first time.
