Just went from ponies to 17x8 /17x9 Saleen SCs and lovin the look. Just thought I'd share some before and after pics with my Stangnet bros = ). Feel free to comment but no haters pls..... I know some folks don't feel manly unless they have 5 lugs but I'm secure with my Fox body manhood Lol.

I've owned 7 foxes, from twin turbo to this car (463 rwhp btw) and I've never had a wheel fall off either.

When I had the ponies it was 245/50/16 front & 255/50/16 rear. Now she's wearing 255/40/17 front & 275/40/17 rear. Oh and btw she still breaks 'em loose in 3rd gear at about 70 when that juicy boost kicks in.

Only in 9 inch not 8. I love the staggered look and the 17x10 looks funny..... almost import, but thats just my opinion

fuk yeah man... Those are one of my all-time favorite wheels on the planet. I also applaud you for going with the silver finish on a blue car instead of the chrome.

Thanks bro, yeah most guys go chrome on green or blue cars. I think this looks way better without screaming "look at me, aren't I shiny" Lol.

So the staggered look is a recessed lip edge?
