I need a pair of 16 inch wheels to put some track-only tires on my 08 Mustang. SN95 wheelsa re the cheap route but I am wondering about the backspacing. I know they will stick out more, but how significant is it? Will it be enough that it will be a problem?
Stock width is not too bad. I ran factory '03 Cobra wheels(wider) out back and it was still under the fender.
No issues, here's a couple shots of them on the car when it was still stock. Calipers are real close though.
Wow....those '03 Cobra wheels actually look pretty good out back. Wonder what they look like all the way around? The backspacing difference is minimal really....but still noticable.
I had no issues with rocks, but the track is only a 20 min drive for me. I had the dr's on my 95 and thought i'd give it a shot. I plan keeping these rims for dr's as this set fits both cars and they don't look horrible on there plus they are kinda light. I just wish my prostars fit the white car or i'd run them!
Wow....that's a lot of tire for a mostly stock Mustang. I'm betting they probably hurt you more with the additional weight, drag and diameter than they actually helped? My favorite....
hmm, mostly stock, thats cute. . yeah i took the gt-500 t off of it because everyone was asking if it was a shelby.. . now it just says Turbo in small lettering
Sorry...I guess I should have checked your mods in your sig before commenting. I was making the guess based on your run in the video. Either way, you don't seem to be making anywhere near enough power/torque down low to justify such a tall tire. You probably would have been better off with a 27” DOT drag radial IMO.
belzebub2u, do you have a picture of it? Did the tires stick out excessively, or enough to cause any concern with rock chips and whatnot?
not they fit under the fenders fine, and no problems with rock chips. i was running 355 gears and a five speed in that video, im runnin a 4r70w now, it launches much better, 1.8 60' and with the 410's im puttin in, along with the trans brake, it should be in the 1.6's
