Mustang body kit
Just figured since there were so many questions about it, the two round things in the bottom right of the mustang body kit are in fact tires.

Aren't they just bigger diameter tires to make it look like a hotrod? Kinda like the ones for the Camaro? Doesn't that make the gearing ratio change? I mean not by much but, just a little bit?

It'll change the gearing, yes. Probably by a decent bit, actually, because the tires are probably 10-15% larger than stock. maybe with li-ions and a stage 2 11 tooth, it'll go 33 or 34 instead of 32 or so. But it's not a quantifiable difference, really.

The taller mount doesn't affect the front, only the rear tires. So it won't help with the steering. I have one and I will try to duplicate the problem and see if I can help find a solution.

I thought he was saying that the rears are rubbing.

Hey you know what? I just reread that and you are right he is talking about the rear. My bad. Sorry bro.
Viper's right. Do you have the longer rear clip installed?

has anyone tried these tires with the AWD? I think the difference in diameter will cause some problems.

I also think that it might be problem, so I'm not trying it out.
