👍🏻😎 I love the rake. Reminds me of my lowered 94 Mark VIII I used to have. The wheels are incredible, great job on the all of the suspension work you've done so far. I'm a suspension guy and I always loved tweaking the suspensions on my cars.
Its funny I think we found a good balance on the rear. It either has 160 or 180lb springs out back and I am surprised how how much a full tank of fuel vs empty has on the physical rear suspension height. Full tank the car sits level. Empty and it has a noticeable rake to it.
Thanks for posting this …those rims are truly a strong improvement. Seriously, considering biting the bullet and gettting one. It’s a serious flashback to see an x-patrol car that color…my dads dept. Sands Point PD..On L.I. had them that color back in the 70’s
Great wheel choice, Ride height looks perfect also. Something I always thought to do with mine was to color match the plastic rocker cover to give it a lower look without compromising the actual ride height. Food for thought perhaps.
I have a 2011 Vic all black. Coil overs going on next week. I think I need these wheels. You gave the size and offset and we can see they fit!!! Look awesome.

Lol 2:26 Axle Vent Tube could use half a tablet of Cialis 5:16 You just gave me an idea for a video. Put a gopro on the passenger A-pillar showing the driver.

LOL I've been contemplating buying a chinesium tire machine off of ebay but I literally don't have anywhere to put it. Would love to get into mounting tires for friends and family on the side. That being said those harbor freight manual tire changers really do work if you have wheels that you don't care about. Yes I noticed the floppy axle vent tube lol. What the hell would cause that? I do everything I can to stay away from Seattle. Eff that shithole.
They don't show well in pictures but this thing is littered in handcuff dings all up and down the side of it. This car was used hard in it's short 62k mile career starting in 2013 to 2019
That should help a lot. I will say that even with the 18 inch wheels these are already 1 million times easier to clean up and just use a wash mitt even on the barrels.
Thank you. It actually may be possible but I think it would take a custom offset wheel to make it work which would be really expensive. I think the +42 10 inch wheel would poke out super bad like a drift car.
Looks great . I know this is an older video. But I have a 2011 CV LX . I’ve been looking at wheels , do you think it’s possible to run 18x9.5 on all four corners in a +35 offset and a 275/40r18 ? It is an LX witch I’ve read sits a little lower than a P71
Seattle PD. All the cars used to be that color up until about 7 years ago when they started branching away from just Fords and now everything is Navy Blue. We still really don't care for this color but it's not worth respraying the car for.
Thank you Bat. Yeah this is not really a burnout machine lol especially with 275s out back. It's a peg legger anyways right now. Maybe in the rain haha.
Any issues at all with rubbing in the front? Im going with a 18x9.5 et45 (2007 Gt500 wheels) wrapped in 255/45r18 with a drop on coilovers similar to yours, I’m wondering if I should roll the front fenders a little just in case.
Nigel I can't say for certain without doing a bunch of research as that wheel you are using is a different width and different offset. If it is from a 2007 mustang it should fit though. It may poke some but I am not sure. This new combo doesn't rub but we also are relying on the shock quality in the coilover to control the wheel and tire. IN other words if we were still on stock motorcraft struts and cut springs it would probably rub bad.
@@PNW_Car_Mods I was thinking the same in regards to avoiding rubbing by having a quality coilover setup, I have some Ridetech Coilovers coming in from adtr, I'm also thinking that by putting a 255/45 on an 9.5 inch tire should provide a teeny tiny bit of stretch that would provide a little fender clearance. I guess we will see soon enough. Thanks for the videos!
@@karstenmerrickjr4497 Super late response, I ordered the coilovers from adtr which offers an option for shocks, springs and perches for the rear that allow for height / dampening adjustment in the back.
Ahmed I am unsure at 80. At 70 we dropped around 350 rpm. I wanna say around 1800rpm at 70. I could be off a little on the RPM number but I know it dropped around 350 from the Auto to the 3650 trans.
@@ahmedwwh2854 This car has 3.27 rear axle gears. I am sure you have 2.73 gears if you are turning so little RPMs. I'm thinking that 5th gear with the manual would be almost useless with 2.73s. I actually want to go to 3.55s or even 3.73 rear gears and it will still get fantastic fuel mileage.

Thanks Jeff for checking it out. We hated this color at first but it's kinda grown on us.

Thank you. I can't say I've ever seen that. Would be neat to see!

Beautiful ride. What an upgrade. Maybe one day I’ll see your car on the roads since I live nearby
Thank you great white. I've probably seen your car before and didn't even know it was you lol.
I can't stop thinking about are how many small "forehead shaped" dings might be above those rear doors if the light hit it just right? Cheers!
They don't show well in pictures but this thing is littered in handcuff dings all up and down the side of it. This car was used hard in it's short 62k mile career starting in 2013 to 2019
I hope they are locking lug nuts, Y'all keep making those upgrades and Seattle is gonna want their car back
It would be funny to see how many of them can drive a manual lmao.
@@PNW_Car_Mods Probably one or two at most LOL
I applied a ceramic coating to my wheels to reduce the amount of time needed to clean my 20x8.5/10s
That should help a lot. I will say that even with the 18 inch wheels these are already 1 million times easier to clean up and just use a wash mitt even on the barrels.
What would you recommend for a tire and rim combination without lowering a 2011 crown Vic ?
Good question. Probably a 20 inch factory Mustang Wheel.
Awesome looking car!! Is it possible to run 10" wheels on the front to?? Thanks for the videos!!

do you have a coilover? and which ones do you have
Single Adjustable QA1s through NAAKE Suspension. Have a video on it if you are so inclined.
