My local Les Schwab has a set of theses rims they will sell for $150.
They look like 99 Mustang GT rims at 17X8. Does anyone know the backspacing of these rims? I'm thinking I would remove the stangs from the centers, or leave the centers off altogether. Comments please. Not interested in opinions, just fitment fact from anyone with knowledge of these rims. thanx.

Thanks phat, I'll check it tonight after work. Not sure what stance refers too, but there out there a good 1.5". It'll look pretty sick IMO. I might go with flaps to keeb road filth off the quarters. Honestly I dont know what year or package they are from, I just googled images until I found that description. If anyone knows a more accurate description of the wheel rather than the souce, i'm all ears.Originally Posted by phatboislim

Weighed them at work on Friday, 19.6lbs. I guess that's pretty light for for an OEM wheel. I think they are '03/'04, not '99.

Regular tapered seat lugnuts. Hubcentrics would be a good idea, but not necessary.Originally Posted by T_Behr904
Do these wheels require hubcentric wheels, or different type of lug nuts?

These are actually 02-04 GT wheels.Originally Posted by JNCoRacer
These are 99's. This was back in 04.
The wheels the OP has were offered on all 99 to 04 GT's, and are forged, that is why they are so light. I actually need to source a set for my Mustang, lol.
4,704 miles later and the Chinese Wan Li tires are doing real good. With the Sen Sen struts i stick to the road like glue.

Figured out what to do with the 'Stang emblem in the center? Just brainstorming on the fly hypothetically I was thinking maybe dremel off the embossed horse, polish a well defined area, find some cheap nissan hamburger logos, loctite them in place in the center?

Have those same rims on my Mustang now, but staggered (17x8/17x9). Might just take them off & put the 18s back on. Glad I found this post!



Lookin good. Have fun with it.
