16" Rims?

I found these on the net at tirerack.com and was wondering what everyone thought about them. I have a 1993 Mustang Notchback and am looking for some rims that are a bit different than what everyone else is running without having to do a 5 lug conversion. These have the beefy, "macho" look that I have been searching for, but I am unsure if the offset is correct or not. It SAYS it is for 87-93 Mustang 4-lugs, but +15mm just seems wrong for some reason.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

check out discounttiredirect.com before you buy those wheels. they'll show you wheels with the correct offset.

OK, not sure why that page won't load up. It is at www.tirerack.com, is made by ASA from Korea, is called the JS5, is a 16x8" rim with +15mm offset and is $119 apiece. I have included a pic to show you all what it looks like as well.

Thanks again,
Mark

Those are pretty good looking. I wonder how they'd look on my 88 lx with some lo profiles...

Get 17's...

The offset will vary depending on the width of the wheel...I know my 7" wide SVO wheels have 42mm offset and the new 8" wide mustang wheels have about 35mm offset.

I would LOVE to get 17's, but it seems the only things out there for a 4-lug are Cobra R's. I want things to be a bit different, which these are. Besides, price-wise, rubber for 16's is WAY cheaper...and these rims would only be around $520 which IS a pretty darn good price.

Oh come on, there are a million 4 lug 17" wheels for these cars...just check ebay for example (search for the lug pattern).

You can pick up 235-45-17's for like 65 bux each...that's pretty damn cheap if you ask me.

Done the looking, like I said...all Cobra R's, including E-bay http://motors.search.ebay.com/93-mu...sorecordsperpageZ50QQsosortpropertyZ1QQsotrZ2 Show me someplace else that has some DIFFERENT 17" 4-lugs at an affordable price please?

Here is a search for the lug pattern as I mentioned above...not ALL of these have the correct backspacing/offset, you'll have to research that for yourself. Also, just because it doesn't say Mustang in the fitment guide doesn't mean they won't work.

Problem with that is that a lot of those wheels are 17x7's. If I was going to 17's I would want at LEAST 17x8's so I could get some decent rubber on em.

Garrett...I agree...you can put a 235-45 on a 7" wheel without any trouble though, bigger if you don't mind sacrificing a bit of cornering feel...that's pretty wide in my book.
