FR500 wheel guys

[StangPwr]

I Love the look of the deep dish chrome fr500s on the 03 cobras... what tire size and offset do you run with those to fit the IRS?

Go to lethalperformance or mustang replica they are 18x10s DD and have the offset on there for the cars. Got mine from LP. Also picked up some 17x9's for the DR's on ebay for like 120 shipped with flaws... still trying to find them though!

you can also run the 17x10.5's out back but i believe if your car is lowered, you have to shave a bolt a bit on the irs.

i've also seen pics of the 17x10.5's up front (all the way around) and it sorta looks cool lol

 

[StangPwr]

Id like the 17x9s and 17x10.5s if that is possible?

it is. infact go on ebay and look up fr500's and you can get a wheel and tire package for about 900 bucks...includes (2) 17x9's (2) 17x10.5's and sumitomo tires all the way around (275 front, 315 rear)

ive seen that but i was under the impression that it wont clear the 315s?

 

[Ear Rak]

they should, alot of guys are running 315's. hell, cobravenom39 is running 335's and all he had to do was roll the inner fender lip

 

[StangPwr]

really? did they have to run a wheel spacer to do that?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

To run 335s u need a spacer. To run 315s you just need to shave a bolt in the rear, nothing too difficult. If you buy the 315s, DONT opt to just toss a spacer on there instead of shave that bolt. Spacers can be bad news.

 

[Flatliner]

I have 295's and plenty big...

 

[StangPwr]

what all is invovled with shaving the bolt and what bolt is it exactly... what should i look for?

I rolled the fender, did 3" moroso studs, and spaced it out. It's kind of a pain in the ass. But it's worth it.

Jeff's right, I had this same setup on my car for a while.

 

[02RedL]

Whats up Andy! How ya doin? Havent seen ya on in awhile!

 

[whtsvt]

From my experience, I wouldn't buy wheels off of EBAY. Mine 10.5's have been on for just over a year and the chrome is peeling off. I will be buying the FR500's next spring.

Now it's a game of which tires to go with

 

[StangPwr]

I've bought several sets of rims off ebay and never had a problem?
