Need some wheels
Alright first off I will let you know I am not converting to 5 lug, now I am open to any and all suggestions or ideas as I am looking for wheels for my car, '89 mustang GT vert, and would just like some input from you all as to your favorites or possibly good places to look. Oh, and I also am pretty limited on funds so cheap wheels would be good too. Thanks!!

The 8 inch wheels have a two inch lip and the 9 inch wheels have a 3 inch lip. My wheels are chrome and I'm running 18X8's in the front with a 235/40/18 tire and 18X9's in the rear with a 275/35/18 tire. They have them available in a Magnesium finish and a black finish as well. One important point I want to make out, on the earlier Stangs, up to 1990, you cannot run a rim any wider than 8 inchs. This is the reason I'm getting rid of my Y2k's. I can't get a large enough tire on the front to come out over the edge of the rim. I'll try and post pics of the new rims and the Y2k's on the car now so you can see what I'm taking about.

Bullit Wheels will require a 5 lug conversion. He wants to stay with the stock 4 lug set up. Unfortunately in doing so your choices in wheels are very limited. I had a set of ROH Drift R's come in for my car but I sent them back because I didn't like the way they looked. Nothing was wrong with them, just wasn't what I expected. I have these on order now:

17X8's w/ 235/45/17's on the front and 18X9 w/ 275/35/18's in the rear. This is the closest your going to get to a Bullit style wheel without going to a 5 lug conversion. And yes these will fit the four lug bolt pattern, I called Discount Tire and double checked. The bolt pattern is 4-108.

you could get the second edition pony mags from the new ford racing catalog... the are the same mags in ur pic "90fiveO" but are completely chromed except for the horse emblem in the middle and are someting like 175 per mag... which is a very cool. For me pony mags are the way to go for ne mustang that dont wanna have a conversion done to it.... Go Pony Or Go Conversion for some bullits...

Or if you don't want chrome and can settle for a 16X8, Discount Tire has them on sale for $92.00 a piece. Might be good for a set of beater rims.
