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.

 

Cannot help much but look at this

Got em today. Now I gotta wait till the Van tires are paid off. They poke out a little, but I don't mind.

 

In for stance pics!

 

Didn't know the 99 GT had 17's, the 99 GT i got my rims from were 16x7.5's and wieghed 19lbs

Mine had a little poke, in the front.

 

i remember cef had some saleen wheels on his...with a drop, woulda looked sick, had a mean poke...i think it was a 17x9...must have been like a +25 offset

OP offset is labeled in the back of the rim spoke

 

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.

 

they will fit, purchased a set of winter rims off of a 99 mustang gt for my 96 max

 

Amongst all the coding I see 17X8J30. Does that mean 30mm backspacing or offset?

 

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.

 

Do these wheels require hubcentric wheels, or different type of lug nuts?

 

Regular tapered seat lugnuts. Hubcentrics would be a good idea, but not necessary.

These are 99's. This was back in 04.

 

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!

 

These are actually 02-04 GT wheels.

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.

 

Yea I was actually looking at cobra wheels 17x10.5 all around

 

Finally getting tires tomorrow. 235/45r17 Wanli.

 

2 years later...

 

such is my life. Priorities.

 

lolz in for pics

 

lol better late than never.

 

We have the flu going through the house. I will get a better pick from the side if I'm not sick this weekend. Tires are Wanli S-1063 97W XL 235/45ZR17.

 

wow im glad i stopped and looked at this lol they look clean and the fit is almost dead even looking good OP

 

 

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?

Lookin good. Have fun with it.
