not with my car as low as it is. it rubs bad now with 235s. lock to lock is impossible. these springs suck, handles real good but scrapes everywhere and i have to pull into everywhere on an angle. it rubs on the inner fenderwell and the bottom of the control arm, theres like a tab there which does nothing besides mess up my tires lol. my car also needs caster/camber plates BAD! i like the look of the 235s anyways, atleast up front. backs need to be wider though

Looking good!! Made an already handsome car look really badass. Glad they fit without any problems.

I think we made a good trade... it's just gonna be awhile before I'm ready to install the Saleen kit on my other Capri, but at least now I don't have to worry about finding one when the time comes.

Paint em black and leave the silver lip. 66sprint6 has em like that, they look really nice. And I would leave them the same all around, the deep dishes look like a different wheel to me. Actually, paint the wheels like that kids neon from town, how only the spokes are painted black.

blake said the same thing. and i told him i wont paint them because im not destroying perfect wheels, you an him went to school for that stuff so its nothing for your guys. i dont have that so it wouldnt come out good. i do like the black ones with silver lip but at the same time i dont really want a completely dark rims...i mean i can do that with 10 holes or the ponies, but i cant sand an paint mint wheels like these.

how wide are the rims? if they're at least 8" wide you can put a 275 on those instead of having to buy two new wheels for the rear.

Yep, they are 17" x 9" rims. You can go alot bigger with the tires if you want... just don't plan on keeping the quad shocks though.
