yamahlr Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do our cars share a common wheel bolt pattern and offset with any other common vehicle? I see the 1994-on Mustang has a similar bolt circle. anyone give it a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Mustang rims will work fine on the front (depending on the offset), but usually require a 20-25mm spacer in the rear. Edited March 11, 2009 by D_Venable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest4life Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mustang rims will work fine on the front (depending on the offset), but usually require a 20-25mm spacer in the rear. 5X114 is pretty common. I run a set 10.5 inch wide rims from 03 350Z on my rear and a set of 9.5 on the front.. You just need the correct offset or the correct spacer.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Roberto you goof... My rims have 350z(brembo brake package) offsets aswell. 8.5's(+15mm) and 10.5's(+22mm) with a 25.4mm spacer on the rears. To the OP. You will not find a single car that shares our offsets and bolt pattern. Like mentioned, you can get close but you will either buy rims that have custom offsets(Volk, Work, SSR, BBS, Simmons etc..) for $550-1200 per rim, or you'll have to at least use spacers on the rear.

BrazilBoy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Quest4Life's wheels are superb take a look http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.p...si&img=1786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahlr Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Weell that opens up the choices. I assume that the spacer in the rear brings the offset back to around zero? Where does one get the spacers, like from a online wheels store or should they be ordered with the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The width of the rim will dictate what offset range you'll be able to use. Spacers are few and far between really and will also depend on the rims you choose. I had bolt-on billet spacers made that are hub and rim bore centric, so there's zero chance of rim-to-hub movement.

yamahlr Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have to agree the wheels that Quest4life are a compliment to the car for sure. What is the brand and specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 about the bolt pattern... 5 on 4.5" Chrysler everything, except later model trucks and 60s A-bodies all share this bolt pattern, as does many Ford vehicles, and, most Japanese 5 lugs.

Think I found our new rims boys. Just got my issue of Hot Rod Magazine (great articles on barn find classics by the way) and looking at the Classic Industries two page ad. WWW. ClassicIndustries.com. t They are doing a repo of the mesh Firebird GTA wheel. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but other than the bolt pattern (which adapters should remedy) the wheels are correct in that that are 16x8" and have a zero offset and a 16mm offset both available. They are in black or gold mesh or can be painted. If I'm correct on these, I'll contact to see if they will do our bolt pattern if all other factors are o-k.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) You'll be able to mount them, but spacers for the rear should still be utilized. Without them, the front will have a wider contact patch than the rear, not to mention the asthetics of having the rears sunk in and the fronts nearly fender flush.

yamahlr Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hear what your sayin, if the wheel lug adapter was utilized, the sizes could be staggered as you described (which by the way is a good thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
