18's to big for svo's???

[NsTyFoX]

Hey guys, I'm still looking at rims and cant decide either. I was wondering if 18's are overkill for svo's. I was thinking about the 18 by 9 saleen rims. I know I'll have to do some suspension mods to fit em, but was wondering if anyone else is running them on their car? Give your opinion on weather you think the rims would look good or not.





Thanks
Jim

I think those would look great...of course, those are the ones I am getting for mine too, so I MAY be a little biased. I am also curious about any possible fitment issues that may pop up. Anyone?

I've always thought 18's looked too big on Foxes, 17's were perfect.

I have a set of 18x8.5 98 Saleen wheels that are being powder coated right now that i will be putting on my Svo. I stuck just the wheels on the car when i got them to see how they fit and the looked AWSOME on the car. They are being powder coated black

What kind of modifications will be required? I assume that there might be some rubbing issues, but is there any other interference or other problems that anyone knows about? I really like the looks of the Saleen wheel, and am holding off ordering them until I know what I'm in for.
Thanks

Any pics with the 18 in wheels

17 is the limit.

Why not 20 maybe 22?

I tried 2000 cobra R's. Not good. IMO

Henson,

j/k

If you go with 18"
*Beware: stay away from railroad tracks and pot holes.*

18's will work but you will have to use an exteremly low profile. Like maybe a 35.

Hey all..

I took this pic when I was at the Saleen show last month in Irvine. It is a 84-85 SVO with 18 inch Saleen wheels.
