I have 245/50's on my two rear pony rims, they rub a bit on the front and was thinking of getting 225's but want to know how they look on stangs. Anyone have any pictures of 225's on pony rims? My car is an 87 LX btw.
These are 235/60's on the front. They rub a little bit but I think that would be solved by getting 50 series instead of 60 (they look a little too tall to me). Sorry for the kinda crap quality, I don't really have a gret place to host pics.
Probly what is happing on both your cars is that they are 4 bangers cars I mean the V8's came with whats called a handling package which had the 16" wheels and rack and pinion limiters. You can buy these limiters through Ford for around 5.00 bux (U.S.). They are just little plastic clips that clamp on to your rack and pinion and keep the wheels from over turnning and rubbing. Now when you go to install them some boots on the rack have non replaceable clips and you will need to buy new ones which shouldn't be that much either. So double check the boots before you start to install the limiters.
If you replace it get one for a 91-93' GT 5.0L car because they should have the limiters for the 16" wheels and should help with your rubbing issues. I got a set of limiters for my LX but I've been to busy working on the SVO to mess with them. Now I have learned to deal with my rubbing issues pretty easy and my have saved my life... so fair I've lost 5lbs from not being able to drive through McDonalds By the way nice going on the car show
I just put new 225-50-16's all the way around. They look very nice, but the back end still sits ~1.5" higher than the front. I will try to get some pictures tommorrow I suppose.
That is what my SVO has on it and I like them. I would post pics but since its a different type of stang I didn't think it would count.
I went to the tire shop and they informed me that they have 225/55's , anyone got some pics of them? They told me that 235/50's would be like $200 a tire. Gah this whole thing is getting on my nerves, why the hell did the tires have to rub in the first place.
