Believe me I've tried. The forum recoginizes that I have already uploaded the pic once and as such will not let me upload the pic again to conserve space etc.... ( I even tried renaming the pic too!)

As far as filling in the blanks...
They are 16x8, modified backspacing, using stock brakes, 225/50R16 tires (Yokohamas)

hummm -- I didn't realise that option would cause that to happen, I thought it would just post a link to the existing image.

Guess I'll turn that off.

[AT6svo]

Ok we'll (no pun int) give this a try.

Edit: seems to be working just fine now!

Hey FRED you posted
I just put on 4 - 17" x 8" Cobra Wheels.

Front tires are 235 - 40 - 17"

Rear tires are 245 - 40 - 17"

Does not rub at all, fast or slow.


did you do any mods to make it fit,

Forgive the lack of first hand experience, but the specs on these look promising since backspacing is the usual concern

Also, these are availble in 17X9 with a 6" offset..

Yeah, those cobra wheels are the ones I want to run on mine as well.

So what's the best offset for a 17x7" or 17x8" rim?

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Here's my 87 notch w/SVO brake conversion & old skool Saleen wheels 16x7.5 front & 16x8 rears w/225/50 & 245/50 tires on em. No rubbin, but rear fenders are rolled.

Anyone ever try the new 05 Bullitt wheels? I heard that they might be a better fit because of the offset they have (tuck in more).

275 tires

I have 17x9 24 mm offset on an svo with 275 40's on the back...it rubbed bad...i had the 275's hanging around, thats the only reason i put them on , didnt want to put money into new tires, but i guess 245's would work, or so it seems from other posts, but the 275 rubbed really bad on certain inclines...

Valiant effort for 2000 wheels

I really like the look of the wheels in this pic from the 2004 reunion... could someone tell me whose car this is (and who I could pm or contact)? I'd like their info on what it took to make them fit. I've read the answers on how the SN95 17x8 wheels are all the same, but I'm just looking for someone who has tried this, what they did, etc. These 2000 GT wheels are reasonably priced and I think they keep the Mustang look well...

Won't someone think of the children?!

[SVOeric]

That is Mr. Pink's car ---

He has done the sn95 Swap.

[svoson]

Eric, Thanks!

Bobby

[SVOeric]

just a note- -- he had those wheels before he did the the sn95 swap, only he didn't have the covers on the front, because they won't fit with the stock SVO stuff
