Didn't have them in the seletion for me to put them on your car. I'm not really feeling them ayway. I kinda like the GT500 wheels too though. Classy, yet tells people you've got a little muscle under the hood.

Yeah, me too. The site does not have them on the wheel selector but if you go to see what fits WITHOUT the on the car shot then they are there. I really like them
Of course cost is gonna be a big factor and that a Discount Tire is up the road so no shipping. They will be $1190 installed with new tires and all ne lugs and such
I set $1200 as the budget.

Now I ordered the Lambo doors and some neon for it. Now im waiting on my stripes and yellow interior package. All my head rests will say Mark VIII and I have a big ass LSC badge to go on the roof. I think I will get a couple Cobras for the fenders and one of thoes 3-D Cobras for the nose to replace the Lincoln badge

Are you talking about the Shelby wheels? If so, the site I linked to you above sells them in the Mark VIII offset and 4.25" bolt pattern.

The Custom Wheel Shop :: 18X9.5 Shelby GT500 +32MM Offset/5-4.25 $170.00

$170 each. Not $115, but a nicer wheel IMO. With a chrome finish to boot.

I know you said they were on sale, but just so you know, they’re over half an inch shorter than stock....which will play funky with your speedometer.....and may look a little silly until you drop that thing a little?

FIRST PLACE

From the outside, Scott Levine's Mark VIII looks like a nice Lincoln with sporty Steeda Ultra-Lite wheels on it. Closer inspection reveals a rollbar inside, but it's under the hood where you'll find a Sean Hyland-built four-valve with a Vortech JT-trim supercharger.

At our shootout, Scott was trying some new programs that were to relieve him of the factory rev limiter, but the car didn't care much for the tune up, so Scott resorted to the old program, which left him riding the rev limiter for the last few hundred feet of the track.

Regardless, he still turned the fastest time of the day, and the new manual valvebody transmission he installed did the trick, as the automatic box previously liked to shift into overdrive without permission. A proper burnout offered some much needed traction out of the hole, which improved his elapsed time further.

Scott's considering going to a F.A.S.T. system to really get a handle on the electronics and once that's accomplished, the Mark should easily make over 700 hp to the wheels, and rather than shifting at 6,800 rpm, he will be able to shift at a more appropriate 7,500.

Cant see damnit And I know the tires are a hair shorter but you said the 245s were way too small. Besides I would like a little less side wall and the car is lowere an inch
It will only be a little while anyway and the speedo reads a little slow (1 mph) so it should work out fine and @ $72 each for the tires its hard to beat.
