It will look great then. You should get a 1" spacer for them. I've seen a picture of it and WOW!
275's aren't as wide as I would like because they don't completely line up with the fender, 285's do though.

I have spacers that I could use for the rear.

It looks really good... I can't find the thread that I made... hell I don't even remember the name of it. But maybe I'll get lucky

Yeah... I really want black but something keeps holding me back. Probably the fact that I can't run a deep dish in the rear because rotating is important to me but I'm starting to care less and less and want to get some 17x10.5" somethings and some 315's and call it a day.
I feel that with black wheels, it would really help to have a deep dish otherwise it just doesn't look right. Ugh.
Matt, I have a full set of 18"black FR500's for sale in the "For Sale" section (imagine that). 18X9's with 265-35's in the front, 18X10 deep dish with 335-30'sin the back. You read that right - 335-30's in the back. check this:

Didn't even have to remove the quad shocks to get them to fit, either. Go check it out! LOOK AT ME


ORIGINAL: jmac72187
but I want something different than the average Mustang wheel.
And jmac, old groundpounder's going to step in and "help" you make your decision.
On my old Mach, I went with Stern ST-1 18X8.5's up front and 18X9.5's out back. I think these would look KILLER on your car, same wheels, same tires








road less traveled (tell me, when's the last time you saw a Mach with THOSE rims?), good quality stuff, uberhawt on your car. Hyperblack.

Do it.

Haha thanks Matt and Groundpounder for your help.

I took the road less traveled and I ordered the BBS RX. They are 17x9 all around. I will use a 1" spacer in the rear and will be running drag radials on the street. I guess you just have to dare to be different sometimes. Hopefully it will work out.

Groundpounder you *******!!!!! I wish I had enough right now (I'm getting there)or I'd so steel these monsters from you
God that looks so sick... ThoughI just can't imagine how long the tires would last with me driving 40 miles to and from class everyday. How well do those buggers clear the exhaust?



*huge sigh* LOL That would look so unbelievably sick on my ride... too bad all the sweet deals come around when I'm not rich enough. Damn college slave jobs.

I did a quick photochop of the wheels onto another Torch Red Mach. I think they look pretty good.
