The wheel whore in me couldn't stand riding on stockers and struck today. Wheels are 17x10 25et and x9 20et up fronts. Going to be running a 215/40 in back and 205/40 in front. Sad thing is the place I get the wheels from had only three, so now I have to wait and get the fourth one at the end of the month. This will work for now which enables to get so body work done in the rear in the meantime. I am going to be pulling and rolling the rear next week, maybe a little flare but will see. Want it to be done right with a little less camber. The front will stay the same as the previous setups. Here are the wheels!!! pOSitive and negative comments are all welcomed.
Thanks :thumbup:

They are SC style Mustang replica wheels. Available from just about any Mustang Parts supplier...

You are correct. Only thing is everyone is out of the front wheels and most only have the tens. Reason why I know is that every supplier gets them from wheel replicas which is located not to from from my house. We literally had to dig for these all in the warehouse. They will be available to buy again around end of January beginning of February.

Yeah I love these. So much, in fact, that I've been trying to get them for my Conquest for the last 4 or 5 months :lol:. They sell the 9s and 10s in a 5-lug pattern and I was originally trying to get the ones with the simulated rivets around the outside but I actually think the "plain" ones like you have will go better. They are IMPOSSIBLE to find (I've bought them from 3 or 4 places to find that nobody has them) and as you noted they will be in at the end of this month. They were supposed to be on the last container ship but weren't :mad:.

Anyway, can't wait to see the finished product on this!

mounted a 215/40 today because this upcoming week im going to start the body work in the rear. nothing to crazy, just some flaring and pulling. typically we dont have to use a cheetah with 205/40s on a 9inch wheels but for these, we had to bust out the chEEtah.

Hey Adam, they used the Cheetah for my 205/40 on the 17x9s and were having trouble with that.

Nice to see that you've got a tire on one! It's gonna look sweeeeeeeeet!

wheels fit like a charm and cant complain. There is currently no camber in the rear and no rubbage what so ever believe it or not. Goin to do a smiget of camber and call it a days. I thought i had to do some body work but thankfully I dont. This is the looks i was going for. LMK what you guys think. Going to mount the front tire tomorrow and post more pics.
