Help me decide on new wheels! December 28, 2005, 10:35:06 PM on my 88, im building an 8.8" rear w/ 31 spline trac-lok, strange axles (94-98 mustang), 3.55 gears, and re-drilling my drums. i was thinking about getting anthracite 18x10" deep dish fr500s, but not sure if they are gonna come out to the lips of the quarter panels.also, what size tire would look good on a 10" rim? does nitto make a drag radial in that size?post pics of your wheel combos!

Help me decide on new wheels! Reply #1 – December 29, 2005, 01:14:02 AM the 10's will fit fine. if you have quad shocks they will have to go.I ran spoogeho 710 auto x slicks on mine in the 315/35/17 size. There was a big dispute on weather they were the same size as a normal radial.all this is assuming stock ride height. Quote Selected
