hey guys im pretty sure im sold on 4 lug 17" o3 cobra style wheels but
what about running 17x9 sc wheels all the way around. i want the same wheels on all fours...... i could go 17x8 front and x9 in the rear but i was thinking the lip might look good on all four hooves....:shrug:
PICS WOULD BE awesome...ANY PICS of any fox with lipped wheels:)
 
i do like the x8's up front and the x9's out back and i dont want to go 10. cause i just dont feel like mesing with fitment. even if its just a matter of quad shock flips or w/e.... i think the x8's up front would help driveability also... but i cant find a good pic of the sc on any mustang with x9's on all four hooves:shrug:
maybe we can get some PHOTOCHOPPERZ on the job.....!!!!
im looking at the x8's and x9's lip and the difference is noticeable but maybe not noticeable enough to give it the staggered look of having the fat lip out back....so yeah i have to se it photchopped or something....

aslo my favorite 4 lug wheelsis really the 03 cobra and im just thinking its the same brand as the SC, im not sure if you guys know this but there is a deep dish 03 cobra so maybe they will pop out a 4 lug version! that would PISS me off!!!! cause then you could get the x9 wihtout and order 2 with the lip which might be cool or just look off i dunno...either way i would like 03 cobras with a lip more than sc's but right no the sc's got me thinking cause of the LIP!!!im going to write them an email

i dont think 5 lug swap is worth my efforts since all the wheels excluding bullits are in 4 lug! but i dunno

I got a quick ? are you guys still running the stock quads with the 17x10's/ 17x9's in the rear . I need to get schooled on the whole offset/back spacing thing if anyone is willing. I'm running 93 cobra replicas 17x8.5s' with 255/40's for tires and I'm just clearing the quads the cobras have a +26mm offset & 5.74 back space and the SC wheels run the following 17x10's +25mm offset & 6.45 offset and the 17x9's run a +20mm offset with a 5.75 back space...how does these #'s work out? and compare with my currents wheels.
 
ike, are those 17x9's up front? do you have any issues with them at all? reason i ask is the company i ordered my wheels from just called me and said they are out of stock on the 17x8's and that they'd switch me to 17x9's for no extra charge.

I would also like to know this. Im thinking about ordering some new wheels- 17x10 in the rear and either 17x8's or 17x9's in the front. But I can't decide if I want 17x8's or 9's. I think those are 17x9's and if so I also would like to know if you have an issues+ what tire size your running. Looks like the car isnt lowered tho either, so that could be an added issue....
