[95crwnvic54]

Got these in a couple of days ago Need to shine'er up!

[95crwnvic54]

Need to lower the car :cuss:

[Blaze86Vic]

Awesome man! Those look nice....but they look like they could use some wider treds on them too. What size are the wheels and the tires?

[85crownHPP]

could you post some pics of the interior with the shifter, and any other mods you've done?
It'd be an honor to feature your vic with a stikie
And any tech info you can provide on your T5 swap in the tech forum would be great!

Good eye! The tires in the back are stretching it a bit.

The wheel and tire size are; front 18x9 & back 18x10, the tires are 255/55/18

I really needed a 285 or wider in the back. Money had more to do with it then any of my options. I could have got 285/60's for just a few dollars more, but the tire O.D. would have been over 31". My target tire O.D was around 28" to 29". I have had stock Mustang wheels with a stock 26" tire O.D. The match was funny...... The car looked like it was on skates. As for the profile.... lower the profile, the more money AND the tire O.D got no larger than 26".

Plus I wanted something with a roadhazard. Seems like every road in this town has a fresh batch of screws laying around for ME! :guns:

The only tires I sell with roadhazard are the Multi-mile. So my options were kinda limited :cuss:

My hapiness factor compared to the other wheels I had...... :banana: :rock:

i loove those wheels

[Danny_Boy]

Sharp looking rims,i really like the black center with the steel looking outer ring and them Cobra logos are sweet too.Gives that car a whole new look !

It might just be me, but I think you should buy some .5" to 1" spaces for the back. It looks as if your front wheels stick out farther than the rear.

Those rims look awesome, I love the black centers, rather than the gray!

The later year cars have a triangular shape to them. The rear of the car is wider than the front. This leave more fender space in the rear. He would probably space it out a bit but might have to roll the innner fender like I did.

95crwnvic54,
What offset are those wheels?

I'm surprised the 255's fit on the 10" rear. I have 245's on 8.5 fronts and 285's on my 9.5 rears. You can definitely go 295 or maybe 305 if you have the space back there. The Marauder guys have some Nittos in 305 but they don't have to roll the fender. The '03 rear inner fenders are flat like the 94-96 Impala's and '05 Mustang.

Cool car dude!!!

Offset is 27mm front & 22mm rear. The front has a 1/4" spacer :cuss: 27mm is alittle to much for the front, but the last wheels I had were 25mm offset and that was just enough to rub my inerfenders and rip the outside of the tire up. :cuss:

The tires do look a litte bulged. That's because they are not "Z" rated. If the tire were wider it would still have the bulge. I do agree that I do need wider tires!

Nice wheels!!! Now get a set of locking lug nuts for those things. You don't want to come out in the morning and find the car sitting on plastic milkcrates.

[95crwnvic54]

Gonna have to look a little closer I've got'em

[mrltd]

Looks great, I want to get a set of the 9& 10" bullitts on my wagon. I've got stock bullitts on them now.

[Lincolnmania]

looks really nice man................you did'nt need 1" spacers in the front........interesting.
