they get you the same results but its not the same thing, just like springs and coilovers do the same thing but they are different. i would shave 100% over rolling.

Why would you shave over rolling? A buddy of mine has the Eastwood rolling kit which bolts to the wheel hub and by looking at his Mustang, it rolls really nice. What advantages does shaving give?

Hi! Yes I had 295 in the rear and 255 up front. I only shaved the rears did nothing up front. I highly suggest you shave and not roll on this car.

I posted all my info in the wheel thread. It will show my offset and tire size. I suggest the new conti DWS or DW. If you want a summer tire go with Michelin Pilot PS2. Don't use a cheap tire.

I'm local so if you need help or contacts just pm and we can exchange numbers.
