I'm looking to get some new rims.
I've found the bolt senter 41/4" but another key factor is the offset.
I can't find out what the factory offset was?
how wide of a wheel you want?
on a 8" wheel a 5.5 back space works well and will allow a 275/60/15 with no rub
what about a 9" wide? i want it to fill the rear well out.
but then its going to stick out in the front right.
a 9" will stick out on the front.
on the rear you can get away with a 9 w/ a 6.0 backspace
I had a 17x10.5 on the rear of mine and used the s95 offset wheels.
how did you fit 10.5s i want to ga wide in the back when i get money with the 03 cobras
and what size whell can i use in front so it wont stick out. i have ponies and the fit goodup front but the back look like they are hiding.
if i swich to a mark VII axle and have a long axle do you know what offset/backspacing i should use
I have 96 mustang length rear axles and brake setup on the back of my drag 88TC. I'm thinking a 9" rim with 6" of backspace would be great but I can't seem to find weld prostars in that size. Closest I found was 5.5" backspace:dunno:
I'm looking for the original backspace value from Ford.
I have to document this if I change rims or it won't go through inspection.
I also have to keep the tire circumfrence within 5% of original.
215 70R14 can go to 225 60R15 or 245 50R16
I have an Excel speadsheet to calculate this if anyone needs it.
Did you finaly get the answer to your q. BobNorway and did you get your car through inspection?
What wheels did you end up with?
I might be able to help if you still are in progress.
