I am looking for a set of Staggered fitment 18s for my car. I have been looking for about 2 years now! Kinda picky I guess. I want 18x7 or 18x8s for the front and 18x9 or 18x9.5 for the rear. Prefer chrome, but Billet is a possibility and must have a soft wheel lip. The car is converted to 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. As of now I would like to be under $3000 for tires and wheels. Any opinions would be appreciated. Here is the car.....

Here it is with the 18s off the gray car on it, Much better! Just dont want two sets of the same wheels! The car is lower now than it is in the pictures also.

I just went to their site! Fuel and Livewire look pretty good.

I dont want any OEM style wheels. I want something you dont see on a late model Mustang everyday.

I like Roh wheels, just not for this car. I am overly picky I guess! TSW has a couple I am looking at now.

We could do a set of our Rally's from the Intro XLR series or a wheel like our GT Sport from the Exposed series. The GT Sport is available with and without rivets. We can do either wheel in polished or powdercoated centers. We can also do Chrome on any of our three piece wheels which can be seen at www.idluxurywheels.com. Most all of the Intro 2 piece wheels with tires (NT555) will be right at your budget in 18's and the 3 piece wheels alone will be right at your budge in full polish. If you have any questions just let me know.

dustin,

leroy93lx's budget is $3000 for both wheels AND tires. the prices in your above post are for just wheels by themselves, correct? if not, what tires are you throwing in for that price?

The wheels were $2400 a set when I looked them up. So with a set of KDWs I wouldnt be to far over budget really.

Sorry...read a bit too fast and didn't see the wheel and tire part. I can come in right at his budget for wheel and tire for the two piece wheels with NT555 tires, mounted and balanced. Wheels on the three piece will be at his budget. I've updated my post above.

Thanks for the vote, Aaron! I second that!

Haven't done a Fox body Mustang yet but here's an old one and a new one that both look great.

I definately like the Rushforth Fuel, Livewire and Super spoke. Are these special order to the customer specs or do you have basic guide lines for each car? I have 94-95 Mustang front Spindles and stock width Moser 5 lug axles .

Thanks John,

I've done several of those mustangs. Fun car, and inexpensive to get in too, which is a bonus!

We have several brands, (below) that we can help you with. Give us a call... 866-694-5940

Biased vote for "Livewires."

The short answer would be "yes" and "yes".

We build to customer specs if they want a certain offset, or we can work with you and suggest a fit. I have a fitment guide that I've compiled of what works on certain cars, that we can use as a guideline. These measurements show that a 7" wheel front, and an 8" wheel rear is what we've done on that car in the past, with stock track width. Not to say we couldn't build you Rushforths (or others) to something different, just from what I've done in the past on a stock car of your same model and year.

The green Mustang up top is a perfect example of a DriverzInc fitment. I had all the measurements to build him the best fitting front and rear Rated Xs.

Give me a call, we can talk more about what fits, and what we want to do: 866-694-5940

I can get you into a set of the exposed series for under $2k.

Like Jon said, Every wheel is made to order so it fits exactly not close enough.
