      Your wheel/tire setup.

      I have to order some wheels and tires soon for my Javelin, and I wanted to get an idea of what setup you guys all have.

      So.. could you please post pics of the cars with the following info:
      - Wheel make.
      - Wheel size.
      - How much the wheels have cost you.
      - Tire size.

      Foose Legends in Gray $265 each.
      17x8 and 18x10 with Nitto 555 rubber.

      Badass rims on a BUDGET!!!!! Maintenance free, and I mean maintenance FREE!!
      I can't see spending $1000 per rim when I got 4 for nearly that price.



      My Pro-touring Camaro has Centerline Galaxy 901's
      17x8 and 17x9.5 with Kumho tires.
      Definitely NOT maintenance free. :(
      I'm low temp powdercoating them this year though, absolutely sick to death of polishing them.

      Since your car uses the 5 on 4.5 bolt circle look at some of the replica Mustang wheels. This is the wheel I am going with. Not your typical overdone TT style wheel but to me it has kind of an 80's road race feel. 18x9 and 18x10 for under $600.00.

      Here's a couple pictures of one of my Javelins. It has Vintage Wheelworks V45s, wheel size 8 X 16 w/ 4.5" offset. Tires are 245.45.16. I can't remeber the cost, but the Vintage Wheelworks website has prices on it as I recall.

      In a few days, I can show you pictures of my dad's 68 Javelin with 05 GT mustang wheels. (I have to wait for wheel spacers that should arrive tomorrow)

      Vicinity, did you need to use wheel spacers? If so, how thick?

      Year one 17x9 Snowflakes with 0 Offset/4-7/8" BS with 275/40/17 Kumho Ecsta ASXs all around.

      Also, dig my rear window Infineon Raceway stickers, before they made their super cheap looking new ones.

      Rims were $749 before shipping and taxes.

      Here are the pics I promised from my father's 68 Javelin. (Mustang wheels) We needed 1,5" spacers at the rear and 1"3/4 at the front. We will have to rebuild the trunnion I think because the driver wheel nearly touches the trunnion, when the passenger side has enough clearance.




      I find them nice on that car
