New wheels are on

[bhuff30]

and no, the ponys arn't for sale yet.
I finished the 5l swap. Remind me not to do that again anytime soon. I put some 2004 GT wheels on and I think they look great. Just pretend the car is clean and the front center caps fit.

I did this the poor mans way. I put on SVO front rotors (new) with 9/16" worth of wheel spacers and 3" long moroso wheel studs. I'll have to grind about 1/8" of material off the front studs to make the center caps fit, but after that it'll fit fine.
In the rear, I am running ranger/aerostar axles and drums with 5/16" wheel spacers.
I havn't gotten to drive it yet, but I think the tires will clear the fender. Worst case, I'll have to roll the fenders.

I love em! I need to post some good pics of my car, Congrats on the 5L swap, looks like it was worth it!

Zip it, mine took me a solid week.

J/K, they look good. Get the front clearanced for the centercaps and it'll be sweet.

BTW I have ponies with good rubber for sale if anyone wants 'em.

Those look great, they are 17" right? What size tires are you running? I can't wait to get my Ponies on!!! Probably won't be on this summer, I won't have enough money for tires before fall/winter; too many other things to pay for first.

Yup, those are 17s with half used stock 245-45 goodyears on em. I drove it to the carwash last night and didn't notice any rubbing, but I didn't push it hard in any corners either. Again... worst case I roll the fenders. hehe
