To stagger or not????

1993SSP · Sep 5, 2008

I need your guys input, should I stagger my wheel sizes? I am gonna buy the new SC Replica wheel for my coupe, 17x9 all the way around or would you go with the deep dish 17x10 in the rear?? I am gonna get chrome finish.

I have 245/45 on all corners, I want to stagger the tires to give it that perfect stance, the car has FMS B springs with poly isolators, any suggestions?

the coupe:

Man, don't mess with perfection. Leave it as is, the car is

But if your gonna do it, do it big. Deep dish.

I wouldn't change a thing IMHO

1993SSP · Sep 5, 2008

I dunno, I like the look of thos dish wheels on the coupes

either way, I don't think I can complain!

staggered! i just ordered a set of black w/polish lip SC wheels last night, 17x8's and 17x10's. have you seen the deep dish 03/04 cobra style wheels? you should look into a set of those!

Yes, I just looked em up, the rear looks bad ass, not so sure about the front. Call me insane
but I think the SC wheel is 100% perfect for the fox body.

i definitely agree, being why i got them! either way, your car looks SICK, so you can't go wrong.

The wheels you have look fantastic! They are actually quite similar to the Saleen SC style. Anyway, if you are set on changing them, staggered is the only way to go. For example, Saleen always used a staggered setup with either 8" front/9" rear or 7.5" front/8.5" rear (on the late Foxbody cars, that used the Stern/Speedline/Logic wheels.) I also think that you are correct, the SC style wheels are the absolute best looking wheel for the Fox Body Mustang. The real 3-piece Sterns, specifically.

Depends on how many miles you put on the car. If you put a lot of miles on the car yearly, say 10,000 or more than it would be nice to be able to rotate the tires. If its just a weekend cruiser that at best sees 5000 miles a year then you might as well put whatever wheel and tire combo you want on there.

5K a year would kill the driving on my car, it's not driven much at all

I'm gonna stagger em, can't wait to get the $$ saved up.

5.0 resto has a good price on a tire/wheel combo, I'm just not sure about the sumitomo tires, anyone had any dealings with em?? Do they compare to the Kumho's??

4-Lug Mustang Wheels Rims - Combo Wheel/Tire Packages <--- thats the website i ordered mine off of. i had to go 4 lug and they were the best price i could find in a tire/wheel package. ended up being $1064 shipped to my door, mounted and balanced and they come with all new lug nuts with a locking nut per wheel. they're 17x8's with a 235/45/17 tire and 17x10's with a 275/40/17 on the back. the tires are nexen n3000's. i read reviews on them and they seem to be pretty decent tires. they also offer the same package with toyo proxes 4's but it's like $175 more. these prices are for black w/ polished lip wheels though. the chrome ones are a little more too.

I have a staggerd set of ROH wheels and I love them. They really give it a good stance and the look from behind with some big meats is badass looking.

SVT32VDOHC · Sep 6, 2008

I'd stager them. I love how my Hack Job looks. 17X8 245 up front and 17X9 285 out back.

SteedaGT9150 · Sep 6, 2008

with the 17x10's arent you gonna have to remove the quad and use a bfh to make em fit?

misl302 · Sep 6, 2008

Where can I find a picture of both the deep dish SC's and the deep dish 03/04 Cobras?
