Meh. I only did the stockies because I had them and needed something, lol. My white car with the 523 spins the 17s all too easy, This car will now be a death trap with these MasterCrap, err, Craft, tires.

That I can appreciate: that's a lot of power for those wheels, let alone the tires on said wheels!
 
Still, you did a nice job on the stock ones.

Good Things.

With the Motorcraft shocks and 17" combo, the car handles AMAZING*. Firm but compliant. I LIKE these shocks.. I may sell my Bilsteins, as they are a little TOO stiff with the 17s.. but perfect with the 15s. 

Bad Things.

Front wheels rub the fender edge on a turn BARELY at the rear lip.. Oh, and since the car is dropped in front, they rub the inner fender on top on a decent bump. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
