Bro please don't be like the rest of people and tamper with a piece of history.

I used to ride my bicycle up to the ford dealer and daydream about a saleen just like yours.....

I wouldn't own it now, I have outgrown it, nonetheless it is a true piece of automotive history.

Wait till steve saleen kicks the bucket, you'll see.

I think it looks clean. S281-E 5-spokes are awesome.

Did you have to run spacers or did they just bolt up?

I think it would look perfect if those where 18's because the 20 adds lift instead of filling the wheel well up like an 18 does
But none the less that car in those rims with the brakes peeking through makes a statement

It might just be the grade, leaning to the right a lil makin the left come up. But i got the wheels on ebay for a deal, shit i paid more for the tires, bolted right up, 20x10 rear with a 7.25" b/s. Real Saleen wheels too. Im just playin around with it. Same offset as a new mustang... It fits the old school Saleen setup like i was ment to be. Mashed a 285 in the back too with no rub!

Looks good to me and wheels can always be changed so not a big deal to go back to stock. I would run some coilovers then you could dial in the suspension and get that one sitting right. Nice job on the brakes too [patriot]

The graphics aren't even close, and depending on his rear offsets on those rims unless he's swapped the rear to shorter axles, those dubs would be more than poking out.

I mean I guess it could be real but everything stock on it is gone so it might as well be an Lx hatch.
