Hey

I am looking for 17 inch Deep dish rims. I am not too crazy about the
Bullit style ones that are out there . I would prefer rims I can put 275 tires on not 315 any tips or suggestions.


Any tips or suggestions


Thanks

So, fake deep dish rims? Deep dish rims are deep dish for a reason; so you can run a wider tire without tubbing. You want an 8 to 9" wide rim with the wrong backspacing, but big dish. That will give you the look, and the tire size you want. I just don't know of anyone who makes wheels like that.

weird post...

Maybe look for a rim company that makes rims with different backspacing options.
I know I got some USwheel ones made for $65 (canadian) each. Maybe try them...

I am looking for the DD look that's all, I know they make them in the Bullit style and I was wondering if they are available in other designs that's all

as I have a feeling that I will be going through tries quicker than before and
the theory is the quality 275s tires are cheaper to replace than the quality 315's

i dont think they make a 9" wide (for use with a 275 wide tire) Deep Dish rim in any of the mustang styles, youll prolly have to get a style of rim for a import'ish application.

Especailly if you want a 17" wheel. There are alot of awesome looking 18s that have lips that are 9.5 wide that would be perfect for a 275/285 size tire.

I like the ruff racing 278 wheels available on ebay. They are like 750 for a set of 4 shipped 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 in back.

Here is a black set, the seller has chrome and anthricite too http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-B...tegoryZ43958QQihZ002QQitemZ120074659604QQrdZ1

I have seen a DD wheel with a 275 tire on it. So I know they will fit.

YES it will fit. NO you should not do it. If you tun a 275 tire on a 10.5 wheel, your wheel is gonna get F'ed up quick.
