After doing alot of searching for wheels I wanted, and coming up with only the ones I liked being 5 lug....I finally found these centerlines.. http://www.centerlinewheels.com/wheels_detail.php?mw_id=11&sw_id=64

They look like the eagles...and even some cragers I wanted. I am pretty sure they are the same wheels I saw on a fox one day. I think I'll do 15x6 on the front and 15x7 on the back. Comments?

They are a nice looking wheel and should set the car off nicely

Later

Thank ya! I think so too. So mustang experts.. will 15x7 on the back, and 15x6 on the front work?

I think they'll look good on the ghia, but if you are keeping the 4 lug set up the only widths that are available for the 4x4.25" lug pattern in that rim are 4" skinnies, and 7.5" (I checked the chart in the link ) If you go with a 5 lug conversion it looks loike it's pretty much anything goes

Yep, you would have to go with the 7.5 or 4, and that jagged bottle cap look seems like it'd be tough to clean when they get older.

If these are the Eagles you wanted:

...they do come in a 15x7 with a 4x4.25 bolt pattern

Yes. I think you'll want to go with 3.5" backspacing.

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

The 15x8.5s are also available in 4x4.25. But check the backspacing on th 7.5 & 8.5s it's 5". Neither of them would work up front without spacers. But rememeber we still don't know if she's goin 5-lug or not. The 15x6s are only offered in the 5 lug patterns.

THE COBRAMAN · May 14, 2004

15x7 with 4" ("0" offset) backspace on mine. Perfect fit.

Eos · May 14, 2004

No 5 lugs...I just wanted to get wheels that will fit, easily as possible. So what should I go with as far as size?

no, they were eagles that looked just like these centerlines, but I might consider those too.

I don't want 5 lugs, but I did some searching on summitracing, where the wheels are sold. And I found 15x6 in a 4 lug with 4.25, and a 15x7.5 in a 4 lug with the 4.25. Hows that sound?

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

How about these http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail.cfm?id=19 in 14x6.5 for the front and 15x8 or 15x10 for the rear.

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

Just checked Summit yeah the 15x6 front and 15x8.5 rear should work depending on the tire sizes you choose. Although the Eagles would probably save you some $$.

Yeah, but I am just in love with these centerlines. And they will probably be on the car for a very long time. So I want to get what I really want. I don't like settling..lol

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

What size tires ya thinking? Maybe 205/55-15s up front and 245/50-15s on the back?

Me knows nothing about this sort of thing What do you think?

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

I've got 215s up front and 245s out back on 16x8s all around. For the time being I'm using 1.5" spacers since the wheels I have aren't offered in the offset I needed.

Hmm...I guess I'll just have to wait til I get the wheels and then make them fit. I gotta boyf thats real good at making stuff work on cars. lol

kcobra302 · May 14, 2004

those are called convo pros. they were originally a race only wheel then were released as a street wheel. make sure you specify which version you need.

rear 15x7 3 3/8 backspacing with 235-55-15
front 15x4 1 3/4 backspacing with 185-60-15

there is a picture of my king on the first page of the members ride post

jeffnoel · May 14, 2004

The Centerlines you want have the correct backspacing, so there shouldn't be a problem with that tire combo. Should give it a nice Pro Street look.
