Time for new rims... can't decide!!!

[cardudeusa]

I'm getting ready to do a 5 lug conversion and I have a few rims in mind but need some help to decide on what I should do. My top choices are, black 03 Cobras, black 95 Cobra R's, or anthracite Bullitts with polished lip. I'm also open to suggestions, but I'm trying to stay away from straight chrome because I think it kinda clashes with my paint job. So lets hear some opinions!! Heres my car...

I'd say some black Saleens would look ****in sick on that car, and some type of badge to cover the painted 5.0 logos

Yeah, the 5.0 looked better in my head, when I picked up the car after paint I thought to myself... damn, why did I have him do that

As far as the Saleens they are all 18" what size tires would I need, and am I going to have any clearance issues? I found a kit on ebay with wheels and tires and the tires are 245/40/18 will that work?

 

[Shaolin Crane]

those will work fine, rim might stick out a bit unless you can find some 36mm offset ones

 

[RatStang]

either can be had in 5 lug. some 17x9 for the front, and 17x10 for the rear.

American muscle has some 18x9's that are 30mm and some 18x10's that are 28MM is that any better?

Mustang FR500 Wheel 17X9 Black.! I would go with a darker wheel either way.

30mm are better, find 36 if you can, the 30's will only hang out a hair, this is also assuming you're doing the SN axle housing

Nice Paint

I really like the bottom color on your car what color is that?

 

[cardudeusa]

The bottom color is the mineral grey that Ford used on Mustangs in early 2000's, I'm not sure the exact years they came on but somewhere in there lol.

Im talking to a guy who has a rear end ouf of a 97 GT, I think he said the front parts are off an 01 GT.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

The 97 housing will work but you'll want to convert the brake lines, start learning how to use a brake flair
you want 94-95 spindles for the front

 

[cardudeusa]

I may be wrong on the year of the spindles, I know these parts came off his 86 Mustang that he had converted.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

they will work, but will force the rims out further than the 94-95 stuff, and the 94-95 stuff is better suited to the stock k member

And these emblems black 03s are my next rim of choice tho

I'm going to try to find out today. If I have a 30mm wheel how much are we talkin about it hangin out? Thanks for all the help!
