The SC's are one of my favorite wheels. Never seen a fox that didn't look good in a set of those shoes.

I love them on coupes and verts, but not sure how they look on gt hard tops. A guy is selling black 4 lugs with the polished lip and some decent tires locally. I have a white gt. Anyone have pics of them on a gt.

This is a close as I can come to your request. In my opinion, white hatch's need white wheels.
This was my SSC with very similar white Speedlines. I really miss that car

they make them satin with machined lip

89oem · Nov 21, 2014

Ya, WR calls it silver with machined lip.

hoopty5.0 · Nov 22, 2014

Those are what I have. I think they clean up a little easier than chrome too. No worries about water spots.

Onefine88 · Nov 22, 2014

Unless you like the ZR center cap logos that come on them I recommend these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustan...l-Sticker-6-/190998524342?hash=item2c786631b6 decals.
I removed the aluminum ZR decals and stuck them on there. Fit perfect and really made the wheels look like part of my vert.

The guy actually sent me two sets (8).

TOOLOW91 · Nov 22, 2014

I removed the zr as well and really went all in on tbe faleen look

MY 85 GT · Nov 22, 2014

Well guy backed out said he couldn't part with his....oh well...anyone want a cheap turbo mustang....lol

89oem · Nov 22, 2014

I was reading that the BFG comp II run wide, what tires are everyone running? I can see toolow91 is running nitto, cant make yours out @Onefine88.

Edit: I like y'alls centers , may run the ZR for a while haven't decided....

Onefine88 · Nov 23, 2014

I'm running an old pair of Cooper Zeon's up front. I have Nitto NT05 drag radials on the rear.

tca7291 · Nov 23, 2014

Interesting, I just got my SC's last week too, 4 lug 17x8's from AM. It sounds like y'all don't have removable center caps? These are Wheel Replicas also, but these centers pop right out, and are of the same design and size as the 99(?)-'04 centers (at least that is what I've been lead to believe.)

Of course the centercaps all pop out and are interchangeable with a ton of other wheels. All these replica wheels are the same. They have different logo's depending on where they were purchased. I just don't like advertising, American Muscle or ZR on my centercaps so I (Popped them out) and removed the little face decal and replaced it.

Easy and cheap, that's me

Gotcha, misunderstood. The centers that came with mine are molded, so I couldn't do a sticker swap, but I am planning on getting some black tri-bar centers for them. (I can't stand the advertising on them either!)

Tire time!

BFG Sport comp II

Does this sound right?

front 245/45/17
rear 275/40/17

FoxMustangLvr · Dec 31, 2014

I have 275/40/17 Nitto tires on 9" wide rims with plenty of room to spare in the back. You should be fine but you'll be close. I've had the BFG g-force sport comp 2's as well and they do run wider than other tires but only for their TREAD width, not so much the section width. I love that with those tires a 10.9" section width tire will have a 10.8" tread width, more rubber on the road! Not sure how a more rounded shoulder equates to handling (maybe better cornering?) but the BFGs have a very straight sidewall the angles hard to the tread surface unlike Nittos hence why they don't have the same tread width in the same size tire.

A5literMan · Dec 31, 2014

My 275/40-17 Nittos fit fine. There can be a little rub on cornering if you have someone sitting in the back seat if the car is lowered and the lips haven't been rolled. If you take a hammer to the inside wheel well and roll the lip you will have plenty of clearance.

Chuckman · Dec 31, 2014

I have 245/45/17 g-force sports on all four corners of my 89 on 17x9's, lowered on b-springs. Fit is fine, though the earlier fenders may scrub at the front at full lock (mine did before i lowered it, now i only get it backing over the curb at the end of the driveway). I had 275/40 555r's in the back before I lowered it, had to flip/remove the quad but other than that no mods done. Those nittos run a bit narrow though, the 245 bfg's are almost as wide as the nittos.
