I'm using the front and rear suspension from a mark VIII and cant find any rims I like that will work. The wheels from the mark VIII are 16"x7" with a 39mm offset and the tires are 225/60/R16. The rear fits fine but the front is about a half inch too wide. I'm either going to have to flare the fenders a little, run a larger offset wheel or use narrower tires or maybe a combination of the three. Has anyone seen a good looking high offset rim that doesn't look like it belongs on a tuner. I'm looking for 17s or 18s and can run a max backspacing of around 6.25". I'm guessing I'd need something like a 18x8 with a 45mm backspacing.

 

FR500's always look nice What color is the car, again?

 

Its gonna be black its just in primer at the moment. Can you get the FR500 in an 8" rim all I've seen is 9s and up. I don't think they will have a large enough offset either.

 

I want my 67 looking similar to this:

 

Mine might have to look like that to get a set of rims on it that I like lol.

 

A guy on another forum just put some Budnik GTX's on his fastback. I was skeptical before I saw them mounted, but they look awesome on the car.

 

I looked and only saw 9" and up.

 

american racing ones

 

I forgot to mention the bolt pattern is 5x108 (5x4.25). I can swap the front hubs with ones from a mustang and redrill the rear hubs to convert to 5x4.5 depending on what wheels I find.

 

These are the only ones I found so far that are the correct dimensions. They are 18x8 with a 45mm backspacing and a 5x114.3 (5x4.5) bolt pattern. I'm not sure if i like them but they may look good on a black car.


I like these a little better they have the 5x108 bolt pattern but a slightly less offset (40mm).


What are your opinions on them.
