Hi Everybody,
I got a screaming deal on a front and rear 5-lug conversion from a 1986 SVO and I need to know what offset I should use for the wheels. I want these wheels (http://www.centerlinewheels.com/whee...ehicle&data=19) in 17x8 but I've yet to come across the correct backspace. Any help is appreciated.

Oh, just in case it matters this is a 1989 and I have the quad shocks installed.

Use the same offset that the 94-04 Mustangs used for a 17X8 wheel but be aware that center hub diameters may differ and cause fitment problems and not all wheels are a bolt on for the SVO front rotors.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

Part of the reason I liked the centerlines is that the center cap is not recessed. Do you think that that wheel will cause a problem on the front rotors?
