I was really just playing around with affordable options, so I'm not heartbroken over this. I'm also not neccessarily looking for the widest wheel possible. My plans are to set up the car for road course racing. I want enough tire that I can use every bit of 500-600hp coming into the straight...
As I understand it, greater offset means more sticking out so since the offset is less on these, that can be corrected with spacers. Was I mistaken? These are Saleen replica wheels, and I have seen mustang wheels on MKIII's before. They fit very well.

17x10 is only .5 wider than MKIV wheels which are nowhere close to sticking out like a mofo. lol
These are from "that auction site". Search "17x9 Saleen". Option 1 is $534.00 plus $82.00 for shipping.
Yeah, #1 does look pretty sick. :D

Option 1:
Front 17x9 with a +24mm offset
Rear 17x10 with a +20mm offset
Option 2:
Front 17x9 with a +24mm offset
Rear 17x10.5 with a +20mm offset
With the right wheels spacers (10mm?) they will fit nicely. My only concern is that 10.5 on the 2nd set may be too wide. The 2nd...
New time: 13.4 @ 105 with even less traction. The difference is I changed my exhaust to an HKS Sport Turbo system and replaced the stock cat with a test pipe. Now hitting 10psi, it's feeling much better. Rolling into boost in 2nd, the car starts to get a little loose. 1st pulls really hard. :D...
Or just put a pre-89 front end on your 91 like I did. ;)
Congrats Adam! I've never seen pics of this car before, and I'm very impressed. It looks amazing! I can only hope that my car can look as good as yours someday. BTW, wanna sell me those wheels? lol

Sitting at right around 12 grand for this one I think, and I've only begun. :) No regrets other than not starting with a better looking car. However, paint is in this one's future, and then it will be pretty too. :D

I recently put a Supra together for a friend of mine, and when throwing it together, she couldn't afford a new radiator. The engine had a MHG but was overheating under load and occasionally down the freeway. It turned out that her stock radiator was clogged and replacing it solved all her...
