Wheels for TRX Package October 04, 2016, 07:48:49 PM I have a 1983 Thunderbird Heritage, originally with the TRX wheel package. I am shopping for a new set of wheels. The choices seem to be EXTREMELY limited, especially in 15" sizes. I did come across this one at Tire Rack....http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=A695734P&wheelMake=American+Racing+Authentic+Hot+Rod&wheelModel=VN69+Ansen+Sprint&wheelFinish=Polished&showRear=no&autoMake=Ford&autoModel=Thunderbird&autoYear=1983&autoModClar=On that page, it says "Will not work on models with TRX package due to hub interference." I see the same note when I search for Mustangs of the same year on that wheel.Is the hub different on the TRX cars? I'm just wondering if this note might have been intended for Mustangs, and not Thunderbirds?Alternatively, what wheels do you think would work in a 15" size without doing a 5 lug conversion?

Wheels for TRX Package Reply #1 – October 05, 2016, 12:36:53 AM you should be able to use any 4x108 wheel with 4 lugs, TRX was just a wheel option for Thunderbird. Mustang it was a total suspension upgrade with Metric Wheels/Tires. Quote Selected
Wheels for TRX Package Reply #2 – October 05, 2016, 09:48:54 AM Are you just dead set on a 15" wheel? There are more disadvantages to a 15" wheel than advantages just due to tire selection alone. Quote Selected

There are more disadvantages to a 15" wheel than advantages just due to tire selection alone.I guess I'm not dead set on 15"... call me undecided. The TRX wheels are a metric size, slightly larger than 15", so I thought that a 15" would be closer to the stock size (I really like the way the TRX wheels look). I have really only found one 15" wheel and one 14" wheel that is acceptable, although I don't really "love" either one of them. What are the disadvantages to the 15" wheel? What other wheels would work and look good on my t-bird? Quote Selected

Nice, but the T-Bird TRX's look much better. If they made a T-Bird TRX replica I would buy it in a heartbeat. V8Demon, what are the wheels on your Cougar in your sig? Quote Selected
