I'm going to be swapping to 5X4.5" on my '90 LX. What wheels are cheap to mount my slicks on? I can no longer use my 10 holes... BTW, the slicks are 26X8.5 so backspacing doesn't have to be spot on.

You'd be better off asking in the 5.0 tech or 5.0 talk section. Our cars vary quite differently when it comes to suspension and wheel/tire packages.

Yeah, use the 15" V6 rims. The 94-98 3-bar rims are commonly used.

The 5 rounded 5 star 16's that were standard on the 94/95 GT's are only 18 lbs and are 16x7.5. I'm using mine for 26x10.5x16 ET Streets. The 15's will allow you to find slicks alot easier though.
