Thumbs up What do you think of the wheels?

Just bought these off of this forum and panited them last weekend. They were originally white. 50 series tires so it kinda looks like a 4x4 RX-7, I am gonna lower it and roll the fenders soon. (Sorry Admin, i know this is a non-informative thread)

those are nice, but too small IMO. i definitely wouldnt get lower profile tires, its only going to dwarf those wheels even more.

Looks pretty good, clean car, too!! How wide are those tires?

I'm running 225/50R16's on my Gen II, and it's dropped with the eibach pro kit, and it looks good.

Just a FYI.

i highly doubt you will need to roll any of your fenders. what size are they? and what is the offset

if you loosen all of the upper and side bolts(near the door opening) you can pull teh fender out and get abotu 2-3mm of room. on top of that you can add some negative camber and that will free up more room.

only roll the fenders if you HAVE to.

I know, they are pretty tight. When I bought them I wasn't to stoked about the 4 spoke design but I got a hell of a deal so it justified it. Got to love that Dupli-color wheel paint.

i like my setup with 2000 mustang gt wheels. they came with 245 45 17s and are flush with the fenders but i rub alittle on the inner wheel well and front fenders when turnning all the way. i picked the wheels up with tires for 400. i think your wheels make the car look close to stock from far away

I've never been a fan of the 4 spoke design, but i must say that you have a pretty nice combination

Never been a fan of 4-spoke wheels......but it seems as if you've pulled it off. Not bad.
