what do you think of these wheels on my 88t? im scoring them off a buddy with bf Goodrich street radials on them for 600..i believe they are 10 in the rear 9 in the front with a 275 rear and 245 front…what do you guys think the offset will look like?
Andrew84zx: (2009-01-06 04:12:11)

If you buy them before figuring the offset fit, you get what you deserve. That's a pretty wide wheel to be guessing. are they 18", 19" or 20". That makes a difference on the offset.
A quick search tells me they come in many different offsets from +24mm to +45mm. Look inside the wheel on the rim for a number. If they are over 18" I'd pass because of the fender lip clearance issue.

those look like signal12's old wheels?
adamvann3: (2009-01-06 17:54:46)
Why dont you tell us? If you can pull them off they will look good on your car but I am guessing you will need a spacer of sorts without ordering the correct offsets. They may work being that they are from a muuuustang, who knows…
TurboZkid: (2009-01-06 22:52:08)
i dont yet know what the offset is im going to get a better look at em tomorrow…u say the offset number is on the back of each wheel? to be flush i need an offset lower or higher than 18?

i had the bullett's from American muscle, decent wheels but pretty heavy at 54lb's each on 18x9's with 245/40's.. in the end you should save your money and get something better

HA, that's a funny question.

Wasn't there a thread about these wheels a year ago?
Racinjitter: (2009-01-07 06:48:24)
I too had the bulletts from American Muscle… With the same size tire they weighed 52lbs in the front (18x9) and nearly 60 lbs with 275/35 in the rear (18x10).
For flush you will need an adapter in front. There is no doubt. In the rear, you might need a spacer.
ShamWow: (2009-01-07 22:50:28)
So 9" wide et+30 on a Kouki?
1" adapter's all around and at least people won't laugh at you.
Actually people will still laugh. Just get different wheels. and add in "Jenny Craig" or "slim fast" to your search query.
Racinjitter: (2009-01-08 01:41:08)
LOL, to get a 18x9 flush on a Kuoki the offset needs to be close to 0et. I was running -1.4mm offset on mine.
ShamWow: (2009-01-08 04:47:49)
Yes. Flush with wide tires = 0et on 9" for Kouki. Make it poke… -10et
It's funny i was looking at this table the other day that seemed to suggest +20et was the furthest you could go out.. hmm :nanan?re

those are the same wheels Signal12 had on his SS at one time. He sold them and got something else before selling his car.

I don't know if $600 is worth it, I mean you can get brand new set of those for $639 but without tires

All of the reproduction wheels are from the same manufacture. Only the center caps are different. http://www.americanmuscle.com/fr500black.html 4 of these = 515.96 staggered 18x9 and 18x10 are $20 more. They will fit, fronts will need a 1" adapter for flush in the front.
TurboZkid: (2009-01-10 22:56:49)
thanks every one! yea these come with tires with 90% tread
88sinZ: (2009-01-13 03:41:34)
$600 is a fair price, i sold my 18x9 bullitts with 1/2 ass tires for $750
Careless: (2009-02-05 05:36:28)
most of the ZR brand wheels are
1) mustang wheels
2) 17x9 +20 and 17x10 +22
3) Pretty nice
4) Not that expensive
but.
equation as follows:
Inexpensive + Light =/= Strong
Light + Strong =/= Inexpensive
Strong + Inexpensive =/= Light.

Don't shoot me. . . .I did some searching before posting. . . .
I'm looking at some Cobra knockoff wheels; 17x9 & 17x10.5
Pretty sure I saw where someone used them w/ out spacers.
My question, these come in shallow dish F & R & shallow F/ deep dish R configurations.
Can somebody tell me which one works w/ out using spacers.
I'm sure it's here somewhere but I couldn't find it.
