I am looking at buying Steeda Ultra Lites 17x9 and was wondering if they will fit with my setup. I have a 5 lug conversion, but it is with the Lincoln setup, front rotors and rear axles and rotors (on the car when I bought it in 93). I have heard that some rims won't fit because of the hub and dust cap sticking out further than the 94 setup. Anyone running this kind a setup. I am looking at 275/40s in the back and 245/45 up front, does that sound right? Thanks for the help.

If you are looking for an answer to question I posted, the answer is yes they will fit. I ended up buying the Steeda wheels and got a great deal on them, but after putting them on my car I didn't like the look of the bright silver paint with my red car, so I have since sold the wheels to someone else.

As far as fit goes they fit great. The only thing I saw was that the front wheel was right at the edge of the fender and with the 245s they were a fraction of an inch past the fender. For most people it would proably been great but I thought it was ever so slightly too much. the 275s in the rear looked great though.

The wheels are concave enough in the back that the dust cap doesn't interfer with the lincoln setup too, but if you have lincoln axles you will have to go back to a stock length axle as the lincoln's stick out way too far. The 94/95 axles will probably work too, but would be right at the fender edge.

These wheels would look great on a blue or black car, just didn't look right too me on my red car.
Hope that helps.

I also meant to say that the Steeda Wheels are the same as the SSR's that Almost Stock has on his car, as far as backspacing and size. It is hard to tell from this picture, but the SSR's are a dark silver where as the Steeda's are a bright silver. He also runs 245/40s instead of 245/45s which most people are running.

Hope you do mind me using the pict Almost stock.

I am looking to put my UPR tubular k-member in also.
Will it work with the tubular k-member?

I just have a stock K-member, but I think there should be enough room, even if it does move it back 1/2" or so, as I have read that some Tublar K-members do.

THe UPR k-member is supposed to be 'stock' location.
The only thing that I am worried about is the coilover set-up.
I would like to run 18's, and I don't see why they wouldn't fit if the overall size is the same as 17's.
Any experience?
